Default Crawlspace: layer of sand under vapor barrier?

Anthony, after I had crawl space repair and saw that water was pooling under
the brand new vapor barrier, I shocked that putting down a layer of pea gravel
BEFORE adding the pea gravel was never suggested! I starting researching to
find others who did put pea gravel under gravel and was glad to find your
comment. Question: how long ago did you add the pea gravel and how well has
it held up??

Replying to a 17 year old post may not get you an answer. Maybe you'll
get lucky and the OP will check back in on the 20th anniversary of the
first message.
