On the topic of sand. I wish I could get sand to experiment with. It is way too expensive to buy here. I also do not like taking sand from our beaches... so that's not an option. Also, everyone is in a completely different climate. With our 11 different microclimates here our banana junkies have developed different methods.
Try coarse sand , not too fine because it compacts too much.
