[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1623910, member: 9267"] Blue metal with fines or lime on top, prepared when the ground is dry. It won't really grow a lot of grass while not being used. But you can't have both, particularly on clay slopes. And don't be tempted to put it on too thin - 6 - 8 inches minimum probably, I've got areas here 4 - 6 inches and they get torn up just driving over them with a tractor. Crushed concrete and coarse metal works to fill big holes, but you don't want any of it coming back up to the surface for the cows to stand on. IME limestone doesn't work if it gets wet and stays wet. Your climate might allow you to use it as a top layer. Best thing for their feet if you can. Or look into rotten rock/brown rock. [/QUOTE]
