Where can I buy sand for gardening
By ivyleaguer •
Hi, I am looking for sand for gardening. I checked the nurseries and garden centres and the hypermarkets including Carrefeour and lulu, these places only sell potting soil, gardening soil, peat moss and coco substance. I tried the big sand aggregate companies but they only sell in bulk, and I mean at least one metric tonne , when I say bullk I just need abot 10 KG. Does anyone know where I can buy some.
thanks,
hi, I found sand at Floranza Garden Center. They have two locations, the sand there is retailed specifically for gardening. the abu hamour location sells sand with a fertilizer mix, both locations sell sand bags for 10 QAR. Great deal. I leave this posted in case anyone else searches for similar.
True about sand in the middle east, but sand you find at a construction site often contains industrial materials you don't want to use in gardening. I was looking for sand specifically packaged for gardening , if possible. but thanks for the tips. Maybe I can get some from the beach which would be purer, but beaches here seem all patrolled by security guards.
Should you visit construction site, just have bag handy so it can be filled up if the people allow you to take some sand.
A good option for you is try getting it from small construction sites such as a place where some residential building is under construction. You can ask the supervisor there and he could help you out. A second option would be for you to look into shops that sell construction material such as cement and hardware items. They may be able to help you out.
Not being able to find sand in the Middle East is just like not being able to find water in an ocean!
