None,,type s mortar already has sand.Type S is sometimes specified for masonry at or below grade, but offers another quality. S has high compressive strength (1800 psi) but adds high tensile bond strength. S contains 2 parts portland cement, 1 part hydrated lime and 9 parts sand, and yields maximum flexural strength to fight wind, soil pressure or earthquakes. Also makes the best stucco.

I think sand is better. Because you can always add organic material to sand to make it hold moisture and be more fertile. Thick clay needs to be broken up by the addition of something, like sand, to make it more porous and free draining this is harder to do than to add organic material to sand.

How do you separate sugar sand and iron filing?

Remove the iron filings with a magnet. That will leave the sugar and sand left. Then use a fine sieve to remove the sand. Or if those particles are too much the same size, then add water to the mixture and then use a filter. The sand will stay behind on the filter. You now have to remove the water. You can do that by letting it evaporate.
