substrates are routinely classified as aggregate materials by particle size ( Handreck, 1983 ). The physical properties of substrates (i.e., bulk density and porosity) are, mostly, consequences of the particle size distribution (PSD) of a material or blend of

using UFRF has mainly focused on the study of the physical properties of UFRF-amended soils and organic substrates ( Chan and Joyce, 2007 ; Mooney and Baker, 1999 ; Nektarios et al., 2003 , 2004 ; Nguyen et al., 2009 ). Mooney and Baker (1999
