Sounds like Napa Floor Dry absorbs moisture which is the exact opposite of what I need. Baja - I will go to the local Home Depot and see what they offer with what you said in mind - thanks! I just remembered that I bought a 40 lb. bag of what they call Pea Pebbles from them last year. I was mixing the small pebbles into my "soil" mix and adding them as a top dressing - for looks only. Seemed to be a good idea at the time. Gene
