If you have never used the product (or never heard of it) Greensand is a mineral called glauconite, which is found on the ocean floor and mined for use as an organic fertilizer and soil conditioner. Greensand supplies marine potash, silica, iron oxide, magnesia, lime, phosphoric acid, and 22 trace minerals. Greensand works great on Southern “hard as a rock” clay soil this spring, to help improve its texture, and enrich the nutrient content of my soil without using chemicals. Greensand is one of the oldest and most generally useful tools in the organic gardening tool box. Greensand has been used since the eighteenth century as a soil amendment and slow-releasing fertilizer (0-0-3). It is one of the best certified organic sources of potassium. It comes from sandy rock or sediment containing a high percentage of the mineral glauconite (greenish-black to blue-green). It contains potash, magnesium, iron, silica and can contain as many as 30 other trace minerals. The recommended usage is to broadcast 50 to 100 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. It improves plant health in general and is also be used to loosen heavy, clay soils. It will also improve the moisture retention of sandy soils. Greensand is OMRI listed for organic use.

Comes in a garbage bag
Came in a garage bag? Strange to say the least, but also spilt inside the box a bit but looked like it was all there.

retracting my first review
I spoke with the company head and during this discussion, he explained some things I did not know about green sand. I spoke without confirming some facts. having been educated about this product by him(he was patient and kind) and want this review to be noted as I do not want to wrong a business that is legit. My apologies for acting before investigating.

Product was what I expected
The sand came in a bag sat in a box and shipped. The weight of sand was correct. Would buy again

Perfect without any clumps!
This was a very smooth and fine product with very few clumps. Others have had large and very hard to break up material--like rocks--but this product was almost perfect and ready to use. I would certainly buy again. Thank you!

Disappointing. No improvement.
Costs a ton of money, but I splurged hoping it would improve my lawn retain moisture and give it nutrients. No change in lawn at all and it was a big waste of money. I would never buy it again.
