goal of creating a more uniform foundation before tamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, it is important not to view WDT as a guarantee against channeling.

usually works through a large part of the depth of the coffee bed rather than just scratching the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose is specifically to work with clumps and
