My neighbor built a slab for an outbuilding and offered me the leftover

probably
10 5-gallon buckets. Similar ratio of 1:4. Been using ALL that leftover
fines to level the yard. To me the biggest issue is the amount of work,

time
and sore arms to get just a gallon of usable sand.

That's basically the issue. I'm really bumming because a product I've had

really
good luck with has changed. I can't think of the brand name, but it's a

2-part
bedding for patios--larger (1") chunks of crushed stone, and a finer

stone. The
finer stone, once sifted, yielded about 50/50 usable stone. The pieces

were about
1/8-1/4" and pointed. Nice medium gray color. Now the finer grade is

just garbage
in a bag of silt. :-(
