What is greensand.?

Richard M. Watkin,


Just So happens greensand is mined 15 miles from here in Marlton, NJ.
USA.

Iıd hazard a guess the town got itıs name from Marl.

Iıve got a few hundred pounds of it scattered about from 30 years ago.

Lots of these questions are answered in ³ Encyclopedia of ORGANIC
Gardening².
