See you are never letting your bed get old. by changing it you are getting rid of saturated sand and replacing it with new. what you are doing was originally described as a no no by Dr Ron as the original premise of the DSB was to never to disturb it.
It is the Germans that are being portrayed as not using DSB's anymore. (I haven't been able to get ahold of my cousin to get him to check into this for me) but from what you discribed they are not realy running a DSB in the true sense. they are manipulating it to drive it closer to a bacterial driven bed than a "critter" driven bed. So same name but two different animals.
