So didja get all your mowing done yesterday? I got home yesterday and my nephew had mowed ours. Woo hoo!
I went by his house later on and talked to him and he’s going to go get me a load of crusher-run limestone gravel to put around the barn. He’s got a small dump truck that’ll hold 8 or 10 tons so that ought to be plenty to spread around the front where the horses like to loiter and make a mess. I’d already had a load of bigger gravel spread there a couple of years ago when I put the geo-textile down but it’s big enough rocks that it gets picked up in the manure fork when I clean up so it needs a new layer there. This stuff will be 1/4” or smaller. It’s more like rock dust or real coarse sand. When it gets packed down and rained on it’ll set up almost like concrete and be much easier to keep clean.
I’d show you the pictures, but you can’t see photobucket either!
I got about a quarter of the front pasture done. It’s all but dried up now, so I’m cutting down the weeds and spreading the poo, and I’ve closed them out of there probably till we get rain again. So they’ve just got the back forty now.
