RE: [RC] Question for those who have pure clay paddocks. - Jannelle Wilde & Adam FalkThe 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. Jannelle Wilde & Adam Falk 584 Romie Howard Rd.

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 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
