I'm not saying that folks should go raid beaches for sand for gardening. However, if one happens to live near an abandoned sand pit (like I do), then this could be very useful! And yeah, I would do a rinse of the sand pit sand before sterilizing -- to help leech out any pollutants. Small rocks could work as well. But, again, I would sterilize anything before using it as a #PottingMix!

If you need sterile sand, try baking it for 45 minutes. Remove salt by simmering the sand with water, then straining it through a coffee filter."

So yeah, #CoarseSand can be used instead of #Perlite and #Vermiculite (and I would sterilize it before using it).
However, I did read that coarse sand can be too sharp for some root systems? It's something to consider...
"Coarse, sharp, or builder sand, often used in construction, is a primary ingredient in potting media. Like peat moss, sand improves drainage and aeration but does not improve water-holding capacity. Too much sand will make containers too heavy to move. Sand should not be mixed with clay-based soil."

So, like #Perlite takes a lot of energy to produce, while #Vermiculite is mined! Not sure if there are alternatives to either of those out there. Maybe sterilized #CoarseSand? Hmmmm... Something to ponder...
