Sand

About 15 months ago I had my garden landscaped. For one reason and another I didn't get a whole lot done in it last year.

The gardener left behind a heap of sand and some hard core. The latter I can shift by loading it into the car and dropping it at the tip, but the sand is saturated, contaminated with leaves, twigs and goodness knows what else. It will take forever to bag it up and several trips to the tip as well, otherwise I'll damage the suspension. I reckon I can get two shovelfuls into a standard garden bag before it becomes too heavy for the bag, me, or both of us.

I can't think of any way at all to get rid of it, yet it is currently no use to man, woman or (in my case) lawyer.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

 

A friend used to swear by mixing sand and compost and sprinkling it all over the lawn

 

Some neighbour or gardener would give his eyeteeth for this... put note in Newsagent window , lol

I considered the skip option, but the problem is more one of weight rather than volume. A skip bag might be the answer, I'll look into that.
