Re: Sand
Thanks Tony-
The article you posted about amending clay soil recommended not using sand to amend clay soil because you have to use at least an equal amount of sand to the amount of clay, otherwise it ends up making your soil worse not better. I've read various things about using sand to amend clay and most sources say that it does improve the soil as long as you use "sharp sand".
I looked at paver sand today at Lowe's and it looks good (very heterogeneous in size, color, etc.) but it says nothing about it being washed, etc. It'd be nice to just be able to pick up 10 bags or so as needed if it was OK to use, but I suspect not.
