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.








I pay £2.25 per 30Kg bag for horticultral grit so I can not really
understand what the fuss is about??? thats pretty much on a par with grit
from the builders merchants unless you have it bulk delivered
