[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1114959, member: 17767"] Kyle, I made a mistake. First, it was five loads of # 2. I had another invoice that I was not finding. They were actually 25.50 tons per load. Second, I was told if you put down a good base of #2, I would not need the fabric. I have used the fabric before. It is difficult to manage when covering a large area. If it is not held down real well, it often moves as you spread the gravel. The mine waste run is free but I paid $150 perload to have it hauled. It is inconsistent, contains a lot of fines and you have to walk the surface because it often contains debris (metal, wire from blasting, bolts, etc.) I will not use it in senstive areas like in my handling facility where I use pea gravel. But it is cheap and due to the loose lime in it, it sets up with a solid almost concrete nature. The surface of this area is extremely solid. The cows walk on it and they do not track it. I noticed with the warm dry weather and wind in the last two days, it is very nice. The cows come up there and like to lounge on it. They spread out and seem to enjoy the surface for laying in the sun. Sweet! [/QUOTE]
