Yesterday I was watching one of those landscaping shows on the garden
channel. They were installing some stones for a walkway. They expained
that they wanted a ground base underneath it that would compact as much
as possible. What they used was large granite chunks, about 1" round,
mixed with granite dust. They said the most compacted action occurs
with large chunks mixed with fine material.

Around here the most popular soil is cactus mix (fines) and grit or
pumice. Local experts? Hmmph.
