Diatomaceous Earth is great to use to prevent slugs from eating hosta. You can buy it at gardening stores or swimming pool supply stores. You can also buy it from Amazon.
Sharp sand, also known as coarse sand, offers several advantages in construction and gardening. Its angular particles provide excellent drainage, making it ideal for improving soil structure and preventing waterlogging. In concrete and mortar mixes, sharp sand enhances strength and stability, while its texture helps with bonding. Additionally, it can be used in landscaping projects to create level surfaces and improve aeration in soil.

Yes, sharp sand can be compacted to increase its density and stability. This is often done by using compacting machinery such as rollers or plate compactors to apply pressure evenly across the surface of the sand. Compacting sharp sand helps to improve its load-bearing capacity and is commonly done in construction and landscaping projects.
Sharp sand feels sharp to the touch and is a much coarser material than lawn sand which is often called soft sand or builder's sand. If you want to lay bricks, soft sand is much easier to work with and to smooth down.

Mixing sand with soil can improve soil quality for gardening by increasing drainage and aeration, preventing compaction, and enhancing the ability of plants to access nutrients and water.
yes, no problem
No, sharp sand and pool filter sand are not the same. Sharp sand, also known as concrete sand, has larger, angular particles and is often used in construction and landscaping. Pool filter sand, on the other hand, is specifically graded silica sand designed for use in swimming pool filtration systems, providing effective filtration due to its uniform particle size and smooth texture. Using the wrong type can affect pool water clarity and filtration efficiency.
TO DIG is to physically remove something using force. You can use a shovel, or other sharp gardening tools.
