Muddy Track

[Max]

Thanks for that Toby, the tractor idea is not really an option. We are not intending to put a road in but we do need vehicular access. Have put down a load of brash and so far it does seem to help, putting down some logs first seems like a good idea as well,

We use the triangles left over from pointing stakes, which combined with the sawdust make very good temporary roads. Though like all brash or chip roads it eventually turns to mush.

You can have the top layer of sloppy compost mud scraped off, then have a firm surface left. It means you have to be a bit careful about using it in the wet but I've seen wood tracks like that last for years. You also want the top layer taking off before laying down any surfacing as it will just sink through the mud.

Thanks Toby, the big problem with our track is the deep ruts. I am hoping that the logs and brash will last till we get some dry weather and then I think it will be hardcore and crusher run. Any more suggestions would be welcomed.
