sand for carrots

[greenfinger]

Hi,

we're planning on planting carrots but the soil is quite heavy. i got loads of good idea from the post about carrots and parsnips.
if i want to lighten the soil where do you get sand? can you use builder's sand? ???

I bought some sharp sand from Homebase in the end for £1.42 for a big bag (50ltrs).

Ours do well in a raised bed of spent and domestic compost...
