Erik originally wrote Rocks and Dirt with a "Square through 3 without hands (NR;PL;NR)", per callers box, but ContraDB doesn't have a good way to specify without hands in the move selection. We need to call more circular heys, anyways ;)
You could just do a standard right left through in A2 but if you're already going to do a circular hey you may as well go even more englishy and do it with the gate.

A1 allemande feels more like once and a quarter, but it's notated here as once and a half since gentlespoons do cross the set.
I haven't tested it, but you should be able to alternate with the twos doing a half figure 8 up through the ones and going up the hall to start. The half fig. 8 plus the turn as a couple in the center just cancel each other out and going up the hall to start should end with the twos above the ones before the California twirl.

B1 circular hey is the same as a square through four without hands. The last pass by right with your original neighbors puts you facing your next neighbors.
In the B2, optionally, you can replace the half mad ladle with a next neighbors pass by right shoulder along the set, but the mad ladle does a better job setting up the partner swing.
