Ask the owner what they did. I don't buy dirt but do compost. We have seasonal water issues; from about now to late September there is no rain. I don't water except when establishing something new or my raised bed of peppers and tomatoes. You have the benefit of water and nutrients from the septic field. Many things grow well in sand so that won't be an issue. Make SWAMBO happy!
