How do you get grass to grow in the sand?

Answers:
If grass doesn't grow in the local area. Then don't grow it.
Add manure and some 10-20-10 fertilizer. Rake lightly and seed the area, then rake again to lightly cover the seeds. Pick a grass seed that is known to do well in your area. Water as needed and mow regularly after grass is established to get rid of the weeds.
