can you reuse your reef sand in your garden?

Hi, Everyone,
I broke down a tank that had a DSB and am now left with so much aragonite sand. Has anyone ever mixed reef sand with soil for their gardens? If so, how did it turn out?

You would have to wash it enough to get the salt out. I usually toss it in my unpaved part of driveway
