Would play sand be a good substrate? If not what is the ratio of dirt to sand in the mixture? I've tried just plane dirt but it was all clumpy and hard to break up. Any other tips would be accepted greatly.

Don't medel in the afairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Proexotics said they are using decomposed granite. In my neck of the woods that is called stone dust. They said it provides a good media for burrowing. Check out their site. I have a soil mulch combination now. My Blackthroat is burrowing in it. I'm going to investigate the granite dust when the garden centers open.

Thanks! I will definately check it out.
