Sharp sand - how much should I spread at a time i.e. how deep should it sit on the lawn? and thanks for your time sharp sand is no god for ur lawn it will not blend with your soil profile creating a root break use proper lawn sand I dont agree. Even my local garden centre has stopped selling anythng other than sharp sand. They used to sell it as 'Horticultural Sharp Sand', now it is just plain 'Sharp Sand', the same as from a builders merchants. Alan. whether u agree or not is besides the point its been scientificaly proven that adding sharp sand to clay root zone causes a root break.If u was to look at sharp sand under a microscope u would see that the particles are non porous so it will also not aid in drainage . It will also hinder grass growth.. Surely being non-porous is what defines free-draining. The water will not drain through it and the solidity will prevent it from blending with your current root zone. |
