Hi all, I'm new here so please be gentle... 
I have moved into a house with the typical new build rubble garden, and last month, went forth with my great veggie growing plan. I put in some wooden raised beds and dug out the rubble. Because I'd read that sand was good for drainage in clay soils, I bought a few bags of sharp sand from the builder's yard in B&Q.
I've since read that builder's sand is salty, and I should have bought horticultural sand instead. I can't get rid of it now, as it's all mixed in with the manure, soil, compost, etc.
Are my plants and vegetables doomed?
