DD>Thanks for that...I hope Chris Greaves reads this....Nyah Nyah Nyah,
I didn't, but I'll reply anyway:
What *is* it about builder's sand that plants don't like?
Is it the size of the grains? The shape of the grains? Is there 
some additive (quicklime?) Is it the price? 
In making concrete for small projects, I've used washed sand from 
the ground (yup, the yellow sand from the yellow-sandplain), sand 
from the roadside culverts, almost anywhere. If ordinary sand 
works for builders, why doesn't builders sand work for gardeners?
