It will increase the profits of the people who sell you the top

Other than that, almost certainly not.

Why not?

Why should it?

I thought the sand might have an effect on the moss, plus the nutrients in

It isn't going to make the clay go away and, unless
that happens, the drainage isn't going to improve.


Good point, I have thought of adding a few inches of topsoil, would this
work?
