You can add any composted organic matter,also peat moss is a good choice just watch your soil ph.you may have to add lime to counter the acidity, Benotite clay is another choice. Terry

You can cover the soil with some kind of mulch to keep the moisure in. Weed block material, staw etc. It will help keep the water from evaporating.Also will keep weeds down.
