I got rid of the cypress mulch i was using, yeah its great for keeping humidity but not what i wanted to keep my water on, i was crusing around my local dirt yard (as i call it) and came across a nice decomposed granite, it holds humidity awesomly and it is very very digable, so far my little water seems to really love it. Had to filter out the bigger rocks but $6.50 for a 75lb bag, is a steal, just thought id share that.

Some DG can work ok, some is just awful.
Some is ok when moist, but hardens like concrete when dry.
Some DG is so micro-jagged that it creates foot issues with micro cuts/abrasions.
We have had the best result mixing the finest grade DG with 50/50 with topsoil.

Thanks for the heads up on the possible foot problems, ill add in some top soil now, I tried finding the pink breeze you guys use but no lucky here in cali but the stuff I found out here was pretty good.
