[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3658373, member: 5412"] I’ll try to answer the questions with a little more detail. The suggestion to let the dog pee on the monkey grass to kill it is good but takes too long. Shovel works best to just dig it out. polishing from raw to finished takes 4-5 steps. I’m using a commercial grit from Amazon. There are 4 grades. Coarse, medium, fine and polish. The tumbler has 3 speeds. Coarse grit mixed with water goes 6-7 days at high speed or until the rocks are rounded on the corners and relatively smooth like one would see with a river rock. Medium grit at medium speed for 5-7 days. they should be really smooth upon completion. Fine grit at the slowest speed, also mixed with water takes another 5-6 days. The polishing grit mixed with water tumbles on slow for 6-7 days or until they are shiny. If a really high polish is wanted like I did, there are some foam pellets impregnated with something like jewelers rouge for a 5th step at low speed for as long as one wants to tumble them. So it pretty well takes a month to complete the process. [/QUOTE]
