I guess this is more of a general growing media question, but I was thinking about maybe adding soil to some of my potting mixes (not just carnivorous plants), and some guides I've read kept talking about cutting the soil with "builder's sand" in order to improve drainage.
I have a bag of "multi purpose sand" from Lowes (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sakrete-50-lb- ... 1000489239) lying around unopened, and when I search builder's sand at Lowes website this is all that comes up.
Are builder's sand and multi purpose sand the same thing? Can you use either of them in CP mixes, or do you need to get horticultural sand?
