Lawn sand
Excuse if this has been asked often before.
What is lawn sand and how is it different from the five or more varieties of sand available in my local Homebase (Silver sand, Coarse building sand, fine sand, play pit sand.....). I'm just slightly worried that some sands contain additives or gravel that I do not want. The Homebase guys were pleasant and helpful but not very sure of their facts. I just want to spike the lawn and brush in some sand to help the drainage. |

Lawn sand contains fertilizers and selective herbicide agents. Never to be
confused with any other sands. Best Wishes Brian. "Gil2" wrote in message ... Excuse if this has been asked often before.

To be effective your lawn should bear more than a passing resemblance to the Sahara when you've finished. -- hugh Reply to address is valid at the time of posting |
