[QUOTE="Alan, post: 763723, member: 378"] I posted this earlier this year but thought I would put it out as a focused question. It was suggested that I use a gravel pad for mud control around the feed bunk. I thought I would lay down about 3 inches of 1and 1/2 minus and then about 3 inches of 3/4 minus on top of that, once every is completly dried out and leveled. Just to recap, this area is churned up to the point the mud is belly deap mud as thin as soup within a month of our rainy season. For those that may not know what minus gravel is, it is rock that has been crushed to the correct size, 3/4, 1 and1/2, 3 inch, etc. It is not rounded rock and can have points. But the advantage is it packs real tight, not like round (river) rock. All of our dirt roads are graveled with it, we don't have dirt roads here. Any thoughts or cautions? Thanks, Alan [/QUOTE]
