| You are talking a soft media. Clever thought. But unless you are adding roast veggie's, cream or stock, and some Romano. I would steer clear! I was and still am an Executive chef in my life. jp |

| I agree it'd be soft. Petsmart or other pet shops have large cheap bags of crushed walnut shell thatare probably cheaper by the size.

| I just noticed you are in Australia. I'm not sure what your large pet shop chains are. Here walnut shell is pretty cheap as bird cage litter.

$30Aus for 4.5 kilos of walnut shell or $17Aus for polenta. That's why the idea. Thanks guys. I've got some walnut shell so i'll go that first. Cheers. |

| Rice, polenta, all too soft IMO. Check your local pet stores or a shop that does bead blasting or sand blasting. You can often get 25# bags of organic media for very cheap prices.

| Any kind of UNPROCESSED small grain (rice, wheat, sorghum, etc) works okay. Processed rice acutally works but leaves a coat of white starchy material on the cases. Haven't tried any, but my guess is that Guar would do a great job. |
