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?

wish i could pull up the pic you sent me of the dime and your rock. i studied that hard.
your screening of the sand, i can see where you are going with this. the pic with the dime? 99% of the pool filter sand will fall thru the screen, if not all. what i think the trick is; keep the corm as dry as possible and the roots very wet. you can near drown em.
lord i miss hector and ty, the dynamic duo.
they made coming here fun. good heads.
