Sharp Sand
Question:
Does "sharp sand" have a place in the garden?
Answer:
Sharp sand is used to improve drainage by either digging it directly into the soil or by mixing with compost when planting in containers.
It is also used in building works; mixing with concrete etc.
However, it shouldn't be used in childrens' play areas; there are special "safe" sands for this use.
