I'm making my own potting soil from sifted leaf mold and perlite. However, I'd like to substitute sharp sand for perlite. One can easily find clean, horticultural sand at garden centers in England, but what about here in the United States? I've searched on Google, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
