I found this neat item at Garden Supply and am wondering if ya'll think it will be a way to spread lava sand around since it will not work in my spreader. http://www.gardeners.com/sell.asp?ProdGroupID=18513&CMP=&IMG=34%2D375%5Fa%2Ejpg&DeptPGID=18241&lstCategory=0 It says that you can adjust the holes on the bottom to even dispense rock salt.

| Looks like it may work. I wonder who the manufactor is? It may be possible to buy it locally, that way you can see it before you purchase it. |

It might possibly work, but lava sand is pretty heavy stuff. I would not think that the weight of even a small amount and the twisting involved with the use of this device would be good for your body.
I think of these things more now that I have had experience with thinning cartilage which is not a fun thing. It kept me from weight lifting, gardening heavily, turning my compost pile, etc. for 2 1/2 months! These things happen as we get older, and from repitition of certain movements. (I'm only 38)! |

| You are right Nadine. I never thought about the weight of the sand. Maybe if she only uses a little at a time it will spread and the weight won't hurt her. We don't want to lose Christina, since she is a very important resource to this forum. |
