What is greensand and what benefits does it have? I’ve seen it mentioned, but never dig into it. Pun intended. LOL
I don't know if I responded to this question, Bay. It is sand the is green mined from the ocean. I was told it was used to enrich tired beds. I used in in my veggie garden and I thought it enhanced it. However my veggies are never bad. It is loaded with micronutrients. I have experimented with the potted daylily plants that my husband sells at farmers markets. I tried 3 different products to see if there were any added benefit from any of the 3. Time will tell the tale.

The beautiful Blood Lily. I have had it in a pot for 25 years or more. They make seed after bloom, drop into the pot, and grow more bulbs. A beautiful spring treat for my window garden.
