So, I can ask a stupid question..

I have many White Clover grass seed.. The instructions are to mix with sand and scatter.. Do not cover with soil.. 
What sand should I use ?  I only need a small bag..
And where would I buy it ..?
Thank you.
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

Any garden centre should have sand, Scrumps.   You could ask them what type is best -  though I believe its Sharp Sand you want -  and just get a small carry-bag of it.    
B&Q have it too if there is one near you.   Or in the gardening section of B & M   sometimes.

I would have thought maybe best wait a bit longer though as it will be a tough time for seeds in this drought.

Thank you Mups... I wasn't too sure where to buy it..
I am waiting until late August/September..  When there is rain about..

Oh,  I didn't think of that. 
Well done.  :upvote:


Just make sure it is sand for gardens though, and not builders sand.
See this I just found Scrumpts:


*   Use horticultural silver sand or fine sharp sand to sow grass seeds. These are lime-free, washed, and weed-free. Avoid builder's sand (which may contain cement) and beach sand (which contains salt). Sand alone has no nutrients, so mix 1 part sand with 3 parts topsoil to cover seeds and lock in moisture.

I was told NOT to cover with soil.. Just tread lightly on seed that has been added to sand..
Horticultural sand.. !! 
I will check it out..
Thank you..

Yes.   That's what I just said dear  -  horticultural sand or sharp sand  -  NOT builders sand.     :smiley:

I didn't know you could buy clover seed now I see there is loads of it online
I am going to order some red or crimson as I have loads of white naturally in my lawn.

My grass has been patchy for years.. No-matter how much I spent on trying to restore it ..
I have now decided not to bother.. Clover grass for me (white)..
I am looking forward to scattering them August/September... 

I now know what sand to use..

You'll need to keep an eye out for wild tortoises. A herd of those will strip it bare in no time.


Men don't get smarter as we age.  We just run out of stupid stuff to do.

Vicious creatures that will turn on you in an instant if disturbed during an eating frenzy. They have ne known to strip a male to the bone in seconds
