Default difference between sand and clay Plants like asbestos?

That's something you should have learned in high school science class,
Archie. Were you asleep that day?

Don't you already have the answer in your junior scientist space cadet
handbook?

Everyone already knows that Archie is nothing more than a speck (pimple?) on
the butt of the universe.

Since it came from the ground, putting it back doesn't change it.
Probably would make a good drainage material for plants.
Note that fiberglass is not natural, but man made. It is formed from
natural materials. The asbestos is processed as it comes from the

ground
like cotton yarn from cotton plants.


Henry, can you tell me the difference between sand and clay? Sand has
silicon but what does clay have to make it different from sand? Is it a
composition difference or is it a geometry difference? Soils seem to
be either sandy or clayish.
