So I bought a 1/2 yard of sand to do my flagstone path and now have about half that left in my neighbor's pickup - have to get it cleaned out today! I have small kids but am not interested in making a sandbox.

Any ideas, short of putting it on Craigslist?

Here was my idea: I have a whole bed next to my house that has been dormant/dug up for a year due to house remodel, and a huge pile of dirt to move, left over from digging footings, etc. If I lay the sand over the whole bed, which wouldn't be very thick, and then the dirt over the top, would I be giving myself some decent soil for some drainage-loving plants? Or would it be too sandy for any good Pac NW natives?

Thanks!
