Re: Barn Aisle Composition

["C. Osborne" <whiteokarabians@email.com>]

Our barn isle is aglime.  That's the crushed lime that farmers spread on the
fields.  Not too pricy, and after it's settled and wet a few times it's just
like concrete.  Barn's been up for 5 yrs and it's really easy to rake up.
We had planned to just use the aglime for a base and then concrete over it,
but heck...the aglime is so hard we don't need to!
