Using paving sand removed from Block paving in Clay soil beds

[Hysteresis]

I have just removed about 100kg of paving sand from cleaning a block paving drive. I can of course dispose of it at a local disposal site, but I have some Beds with heavy clay soil. would it be OK to dig this paving sand into these beds. I know the norm is to use sharp sand but disposing of this paving sand would be far more convenient.

I'd be wary of doing that unless you know it's never been exposed to pathclear type weedkillers...

Good Point Chud, never thought of that. I am pretty sure Pathclear hasn't been used but maybe in small areas several years ago. Do you think Pathclear residues would be washed through after say a year or does this stuff linger?
Judging from your advice, I think disposal is the safest thing to do.
Thanks so much for your advice.

I've no idea how long it lasts but you might find residues would stunt or hamper growth even if they don't kill outright.

Thanks for your advice. It's not really worth the chance to use it so I will now dispose of the sand at the local disposal site.
Thanks again for your advice.
