Using sand instead of soil in the garden may sound a little strange. However, it can offer a range of benefits for both you and your plants. When executed well, this interesting approach can lead to a thriving and more eco-friendly garden. Its success has been notably demonstrated by gardener Peter Korn and his partner Julia Andersson at Klinta Trädgård in Sweden, which includes a nursery where everything is grown in sand.
Petar Ivanov, a gardening expert from Fantastic Gardeners, is an advocate for the idea. He highlights how growing in sand enhances the robustness of plants, as well as minimizing the need for extensive maintenance. This is ideal if you're short on time for watering and other outdoor tasks, and a big plus point in the face of changing climate patterns.
