  • Nice large and even particle size

    The particle size is nice and large, but also even. Some sharp sand is just slightly coarser sand with grit added, or just slightly coarse sand without the grit, depending on brand, but not this, it's a uniform, large particle size without too many very large particles (grit). This is better for adding to soil/growing media etc than smaller particle size, or an uneven particle size - especially when using to cover the top of the compost for seeds, it's annoying when there's lots of grit included, as for small seeds, such as cactus, too large particles need to be picked or sieved out, at least for the top layer. It does arrive quite wet, as another reviewer pointed out, but in my (not very extensive) experience, sharp sand usually comes wet, or at least damp, for some reason, and this was not as wet as some I've bought, more like very damp. It is a lot better quality for horticultural purposes than the sharp sand I bought from a large DIY store (more even particle size - although this was also twice the price of that, but that was sharp building sand), and also better than Westland's horticultural sand, as larger particle size. It's also a lot cheaper than Westland's, but it's not 20 kg in a bag, despite being wet (maybe that's why they sell it wet, as it's sold by weight??). According to my bathroom scales, the bag weighed 18 kg total. However, considering it's free postage and a bit more than half the price of Westland's, as well as better, am not going to moan about the 2 kg. Really, they should sell products like this by volume, rather than by weight, but they all seem to sell sharp sand by weight, so this product is no exception. I would definitely order this again for this price, and would recommend for any gardening purposes.

  • good quality but a bit expensive

    My order arrived in 2 week time. Sand was a good quality sharp but it was very wet inside. If the sand had been dry the size of bag would have been at least 1.5 time bigger as the price is for a kilo.
