Any tip on soil prep.South Florida , sandy , near coast /brackish waterBeginner I was told ..just keep soil flat, good contact and wet and no Nitrogen or other.But also milorganite or cow manure /some it will not hurt …My intuition said use nothing now in 10 days fertilize with a standard lawn fertilizer 6-6-6 and some preventive insecticide low dose, water daily once a day first 10 days if no rain . Keep fertilizer low dose . Insecticide Diazinon …? Sound ok …? any suggestion

sandy soil has no CEC,(cation exchange capicity) meaning it wont hold nutrients well.add organic matter to the soil and get a soil test.
