    Hello all,
    We have moved house to Rosslare Wexford. The soil is sandy and I think therefore acidic.

    We have a fairly large garden, but one located in an estate.

    I'd like to plant native trees appropriate for such soil and plants that are friendly to bees etc.

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    You should think of adding well rotted farmyard manure or garden compost to improve fertility and water loss.
    Here's a link to more advice.
