Another great post!

I did a quick search on "ground walnut shell" and came up with a supplier. (I have a need in the near future and will do more reasearch and post if I find better)

Considering a 30oz WS shaker is $9.00 (give or take) that comes out to $4.80 per pound.

So even with UPS shipping you can save quite a bit, at least on the larger sizes.

I do have a question, anyone have any idea of what the N gauge equivalent of a 20/30 grit size would be??

Thanks in advance.

I was looking at the bucket the other say thinking the same thing. The stuff I have is real fine but I'm sure it's made of clay and i don't want to have to sift out the blue crystals.

Have you looked at pet food stores, look at the fish section, I found a 20lbs bag of fine gray/black sand, for less then $10.00. Also have a look out for there plantlife. :thumb:
