GENERAL INFORMATION
- Basically, horticultural sand for plants serves one basic purpose.
- It improves soil drainage and this is critical for healthy plant growth.
- If soil is poorly drained, it becomes saturated.
- The river sand for plants is very different from the sand in your child’s sandbox or at your favorite beach.
- Sandbox sand has smaller particles, which are smooth and substantially less gritty.
- As a result, it generally does more harm than good because it hardens quickly and prevents water from permeating through to plant roots.
