Hi Everyone...
Someone a few digests ago lamented the fact that you can't buy washed,
white horticultural sand in useful quantities--either by the truckload or
in those precious little pouches nurseries sell for an arm and a leg.
Just the other day, I purchased an 8 quart bag, marketed by Kellogg's
Supply Co. in California, for a mere $2.99 (US smackers). It's just the
right quantity for the home hobbyist and at only twice the price of the 1
quart bag, it's a bargain. It is, however, rather gritty. But once its
mixed in with peat, it seems to blend rather well. One word of caution,
if you don't own a car (like myself), think twice before toting 8 quarts
of very dense sand ten blocks uphill.
Gary
