Tonight, Tony Buckland was using horticultural grit on the top of some
pots
of bulbs. What is the difference between this grit and any other
grit/gravel? 
Only a guess - finer/not so fine/no salts.
How much does horticultural grit cost in comparison with the grit i buy
for my hens? £3 for more than I can use in a year, and if you're worried
about what's in it you can put it in a bucket in the bath under the tap
and set it going for an hour or so to rinse it.
Not on a water meter?
Lucky you ;-)
