I getcha. We call it Road Base in Texas, but we do say it comes from the Crusher. The fine stuff left over after all the various road base is made, we call that Crusher Tailings or Mill Tailings. It's only good for paths because it compacts too much into almost a cement.

That's crush and run?

LOL, we were a-sitting when suddenly a pop came from the hood over the stove. It had arc flashed all by itself. PO did bad wiring. We were able to fix that. But his work was better than the new guy the widow married after the PO passed away. He built a deck out back...set it right on bare fir...

Wee Farmer, what is crush and run? Is that like old brick building rubble? I used that in France for under driveways.

Now do you remember my joke about bicyclists rusting to death in Oregon?

Watch out for urban sewer sludge compost. It contains heavy metals. You have to be really careful and even call the manufacturer to find out where the source is of compost sold in big stores. We found one that is actually made from tree bark, so although it's not the best compost, it won't have...

We have Bolar Clay Loam over Caliche (what Texans call old limestone). Our soil tested at 7.4 pH, and was only a few inches deep before hitting the Caliche hardpan. We needed more soil depth and lower pH. So I decided to import loam from lower on the land where it accumulates, and incorporate...

Omigosh, the rain we had in TX today. 2.5" in about an hour. The 15 tons of sand I added to our garden soil really saved our bacon...no erosive runoff! It all sunk into the sandy mix. Now we really need to beef up on organic matter in there. I keep telling the CEO... Oh, here is what lightning...

Please, what is the purpose of the wire? Are there tunneling critters to worry about? We lay 1" wire to keep chickens from scratching at the roots. Is that it for you too? They will un-bury it in no time.

Feelz don't save lives. Precautions do. We're the ones responding 24hrs, so we'd much rather folks didn't get hurt in the first place.

As a fireman, I must share that the call we fear the most is "fall from his own height" as in not off a ladder etc. Most home deaths come from falls. Most of those are in the bathroom. So when you lay out wire, etc, be sure to think ahead of what might happen ... so it doesn't happen.

Give it a try! Sounds a bit like hydroponics. How about renting a mini excavator that can trailer behind a pickup? Rent a pickup if you don't have one. Should cost you less than $400 to do it all. I rent a 4 ton excavator for $270/day. But you don't need one that big. 1.5 ton should work fine...

Ours are in, for 2 weeks now, budding well. I hope the birds don't find the fruit. Speaking of greensand, what a weird name. It's big here in Texas, they actually call it Texas Greensand, and nod their heads sagely, saying "oh it's very good" but nobody can say why. Well, I love a mystery...

Update on my low electric fence. ONE hen, the BAD hen, managed to get under it, requiring me to improve the fence. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/electric-fence-grounding-question.1293804/#post-21183307
