RE: [RC] Question for those who have pure clay paddocks. - Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk

The hog fuel work well, but only lasts a year or so.  The gravel will likely
end up mixed into the clay over time.  The best solution is to use road
fabric under gravel with sand over it.

Subject: [RC] Question for those who have pure clay paddocks.

It's finally dry enough for us to make a decision about improving our
winter paddocks.  They are situated on pure blue clay and it sure is
sticky and messy for  about nine months out of the year.  I did a
google search and found some Oregon websites recommending layers of
hog fuel over a clay paddock.  Since I've never heard of this before I
was wondering if anyone has experience with it.  The clay is now dry
and compacted and we are at a point to either put down road gravel
with a finer top coat or perhaps try the hog fuel route.  My husband
is a bit learious of the hog fuel though...
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Tracy
