Hello.
Can you use soft sand for blinding, filling in the gaps in brick rubble, or will this get absorbed. . I'm laying a raised patio with a retaining wall and would use ballast but I just happen to have a lot of spare soft sand.
Thanks
Paul.

You need to use something in between the broken bricks. I am no expert but gravel will do nicely. Then use the sand as blinding. It is to shield the dpc from the broken edges of the hardcore.
According to a reliable source, you should used crushed lightbulbs.
"And all the lights that light the way are blinding"... "Wonderwall"
