What is the difference between sand and gravel?

Sand is a type of sediment that is made up of small, granular pieces of rock. It is a common component of soil and is used as an abrasive material in many industrial applications. Gravel, on the other hand, is a type of rock that is made up of larger, more rounded pieces than sand. Both sand and gravel are used in landscaping. The two materials have very different appearances as well as purposes.

How do I use sand in my garden?

The effects of sand in a garden will vary from case to case, depending on the nature of the soil. A great way to use sand in your garden is by helping to keep it well drained. A lot of plants need well-drained soil and sand can help with this. In general, light and dry sands mixed with clay loams offer increased drainage that may be beneficial for poorly drained garden areas. The addition of a small amount of sand can change the drainage and moisture retention capacity significantly.
