    what? you have sand left IN your sandpit? !!!

    mine is usually scattered across the garden, in the veggie patch, in the dumper truck and everywhere else - NOT in sand pit !


    seriously, sorry, i don't know what to do with it!

    Wow! what a lot of sand!!! Mine only takes 2 bags so a i often spread it over the grass back and front ant it helps with draining the sometimes boggy ground.

    I'm sure there will be others along with some good ideas.

    I hardly ever have any left but if I do I dig in into my borders for drainage, put a bit in my compost bin and on the grass
