Many successful gardeners use horticultural sand mixed in with seeding compost to help healthy root establishment. If plant roots are healthy then the plant growth above is also healthy too.

To get 'difficult' seeds to germinate, often a gritty, sandy medium is the answer to encourage roots to grow into the compost. This can be effective also for starting off cuttings.

For lawns growing on heavy clay soil, digging horticultural sand in will break up the clay and help keep it aerated, preventing waterlogging.
