We've been mixing it with virgin sand lately.

Yeah, we did that last season to stretch the budget. Found out the hard way you can't go past a 70/30 mix of old to new, or the base just won't lock together. Had a few spots near the goals where water just pooled on top. Ended up having to strip those areas and start over with a better blend.

Man, I used to push for 100% recycled until I saw the cracks myself.
