I used the 1 1/2" plus (if I remember correctly) and tamped it pretty well. I don't know if there is a particular depth, maybe someone knows? I only went down about a foot.

Okay, so I am guessing that they would then pack the gravel too? So to like keep the building from settling and cracking? So does anybody know how deep down these trenches have to be? Is it to,like then clay field or below it or something?

And so you don't want the ground to shift and crack your hard work, or worse, break it. So Does anybody have some stories on foundations? Does a person dig a trench and fill it with papercrete? Does a person dig a a square, then a couple channels across and then just pour papercrete on top of it all? What?
