Why thanks, sandnsea2. I drew it for an article I wrote for our local chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society (NARGS).

I suppose this goes in the "who cares" category, but chic grit (chicken grit) is not pelletised, it is crushed. This produces the angular, relatively sharp edges to the stones that presumably deters the digging moles. Grit can be made from many kinds of rock, granite and marble being the most common. If you can, get the granite, as it will be the sharpest, IMO. The oyster shells would be sharper yet, I would think. Grit usually comes in four sizes: 1, 2, 3 and 4. There is a size 0, but it is pretty uncommon.
