Sand it should be.

Wise you must be.

BTW, what he said, sand.

Sand is for commoners.

What you want is crushed shells made from albino african swallow eggs harvested only moments before hatching, then ground into a fine powder by the coconuts they carry and bleached by the sun and salt water. Then slowly pour oil made from the australian peeka-cho plant seeds through the mixture straining it out with cheesecloth. Allow the paste to dry, then crumble once again and place it in your pit to a depth of 800mm.

Sand?... sheesh!

:eek::eek:On second thought I think it might be your technique! Sounds like you're doing it right though. So, what's the question again?

Well the main difference with my Bocci mix and is that I prefer to wash the eggshells with unpasteurized milk instead of the oil giving it a much more compaction capability.

The real question is "Do leaners count as 2?"

How do the swallows carry the coconuts? Do they grip them by the husk?

Its a question of air velocity.

I thought it was a simple matter of weight ratio. A 5 ounce bird cannot carry a 1 pound coconut. ;)
