can anybody recommend anything else besides pea-stone to put on top of the

I understand completely that im not doing this the professional way, so
please dont recommend that I need a ventilation system installed and all
that crap. * *Even the radon guy that came here said I wouldnt need him

just wanna do the crawlspace and be done with it.


You can use anything you want (dead bodies, hot tub, concrete, #2
stone, cow manure, etc). You're just using it as ballast to keep the
plastic from moving. Just nothing too sharp or pointy.
