I used to play a game with my grandkids. See who can pick up the most LECA balls in four minutes. Sadly, the one who's now nine years old isn't really appreciating the novelty and excitement anymore. Penny for each collected maybe?

I just use a broom. Kids are unreliable. Besides, you should save kids for weeding outside in the hot sun so they will have stories of terror to tell their grandchildren about how miserable life was in 2023.

I usually mix a bit of lava rock to my Leca. It helps stabilize the pots.

But lava rock doesn't roll as well when you drop the pot.

Oh my, been there, done that, except in my case it's chunks of Orchiata that scatter all over the floor. Yes, I can appreciate that Leca would be even more challenging.
