I can't find an author on the google books page. Very strange, but it does say it's from 1889. Do you know who the author is? | |

"Gravel" is a very vague term in English, covering basically everything larger than "sand" that is relatively uniform in size. The corresponding term(s) in other languages may be more size specific. However, size needs to be well controlled by level to maximize drainage and minimize settling. Sharp edges are important also to prevent settling; unlike the case for typical "road-gravel" I believe. unsuitable. | |
