When Hector started buying bananas I advised him to use coarse sand instead of the pool filter sand because even though he was growing in a warm climate and that extra aeration might not be necessary it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
As far as the average particle size theory goes ...
Visualize a container filled with baseballs. Then remove enough baseballs so that some basketballs can be added.
Does the amount of airspace between the balls increase or decrease?
Is the airspace based on the largest particle size, the average particle size, or the smallest particle size?
