I change media every christmas, when the local grocery stores get in their supply of walnuts, pecans, and almonds. It's the only time of year that I seem to get them. I will sit and watch TV and crack nuts for 2 or 3 weeks and put the hulls in an old bowl. After I get enough to replace my polishing media, I put the hulls in a canvas towel, and mash them with a hammer. I use a little brasso polish every other time I tumble. This doesn't cost me much and will polish as good as any media out there.
I'm with Amamnn, good to blow out the dust every so often, keeps the media working better.
