Sharp Sand - Small Bag

Enhance drainage and improve the structure of soils and composts with this small bag of Sharp Sand — a coarse, clean sand that provides excellent durability and drainage performance in a wide range of garden situations. Sharp sand is prized for its gritty texture, which helps create a growing medium that allows water to drain freely while ensuring good airflow around plant roots.

When mixed into heavy or clay soils, sharp sand helps break up dense particles, making the soil easier to work and improving conditions for root growth. It is particularly beneficial for plants that flourish in well-drained environments, such as alpines, succulents, herbs and Mediterranean varieties. In container gardening, adding sharp sand to compost enhances drainage and prevents water from pooling around roots.

Beyond planting mixes, this sand is useful for improving soil in borders, raised beds and around patio edges where drainage and soil structure need enhancement. Its clean, coarse granules also make it suitable for certain landscaping tasks, and it can be used to provide a firm base for laying slabs or gravel, depending on your project needs.

The small bag offers a practical and manageable quantity for everyday gardening jobs, from soil amendment to maintenance tasks around the garden. Easy to handle and apply, sharp sand is a versatile addition that helps create healthier, more supportive growing conditions and improves the overall performance of your planting areas.
