That's helpful information. Many years ago, I used to rototill my beach. The idea was to bring up he pebbles so they could be raked and make a softer surface for putting down towels, etc. Worked pretty good the first year. As time went on churning weeds into the ground was more like making mulch and eventually, soil. The weeds started to thrive. So, I stopped. Forty years later, the underwater part of the beach remains clean and sandy as mother nature built it. The land still has sand 8-10 feet back from the water line and not much else is growing, just due to normal foot traffic, and occasional pulling of brush.
