Washed & Natural River Sand is a clean, impurity-free, and essential material used in gardening, construction, and landscaping. It is free from clay, silt, and harmful contaminants, making it ideal for plants, soil mixes, and various applications. Its coarse texture improves drainage, aeration, and soil structure.
Washed & Natural River Sand – Uses :
🌿 1. Improves Soil Drainage
River sand prevents waterlogging by allowing excess water to drain easily from the soil. This is especially useful for potted plants and heavy clay soils.
🌱 2. Enhances Soil Aeration
It creates air spaces in the soil, ensuring proper oxygen flow to plant roots, which supports healthy root development and plant growth.
🪴 3. Essential in Potting Mix
River sand is commonly mixed with:
-
Cocopeat
-
Compost / Vermicompost
-
Garden soil
-
Perlite or rice husk
This creates a well-draining and balanced potting mix suitable for most plants.
🌾 4. Ideal for Seed Germination
