Gritty.size OK?

Wow, gritty mix is more than buying the ingredients... must screen , clean etc etc.

wax on , wax off Daniel san.....;o)

I think I need to redo the screen frame, as I used 2x4's uugh. Made screening quite a task.

Just wanted to get opinons on my gritty mix ingredient sizing:

Turface MVP

crushed granite #5- I got locally from a roofing co.(RSG-Roofing supply group) that sources from A1 Granite from Riverside, CA. But I thin kits #4/5 as the screening was 1/4 minus

bark fines- I got B Stones orchid mix.

I started screening the crushed granite, assuming it is heaviest, so would pose the most work>>> LOL- WRONG !!!!

The bark was the most strenuous and had to do it 2 times for each size screen. Mind you I only had a 1/4" mesh, and aluminum screen. Geezz.. I now have 3 sizes screened out:

L 3/8~1/4"

M 1/4~1/8

Bark powder

Not mention all those long narrow pcs I removed with 1/2" screen.

wax on , wax off Daniel san ;o(

I used the M size bark, so I'll assume I should move up to the L size?
