And, yes, concrete is amazingly alkaline. I didn't know this until I did a bit of research, but it can have a pH of 13!

Coral is (I think) mostly calcium carbonate, which is a bit on the alkaline side, but not in concrete's league. Hmm. I guess acidifying the soil might eat away the coral, and you'd have a sinkhole where your lawn should be.

Geez, with basically solid coral underfoot, explosives would probably be a spectacularly bad idea, with headlines like "Island of Barbados mysteriously sinks."

Good luck with the project!

Don't know what's worse, unemployment because of robots, or losing fine motor skills from nerve damage. I guess if you don't have nerve damage, it's easier to get a new job.

Long-delayed response on the jackhammer theme.

I was looking through some of my older photos and found this picture, which was taken somewhere in NW New Mexico (I forgot the location).
