We live on the Cumberland River here in Kentucky and every year tons of sand is deposited on the banks. In this sand is small black specs which I believe to be pieces of coal. Since there are many coal mines in this area and up stream of our property. I wonder if I could use this sand as a base for my growing pumpkins. What effect would this 'coal' have on my patch? Thanks.

run it through a screen to get rocks and coal out. Good as any. most sand around here comes from the Ohio River. Its just washed and screened.

Now to look for some screen. Thanks will give it a try. Altho the coal is mighty fine, will let you know how it works. Thanks Tim appreciate it. Youre a handy guy!
