An alternative product is the 2mm River Sand. The PRO is that this product is cheaper, the CON is it has larger particle sizes that might not fit into the gaps (Note: 85% of the 2mm river sand sand is still less than 1mm). What it means is that you may have a little left over to spread through the compost or soil.
