Feedlot Base
(OP)
Am installing a 40' X 60' base for horse feed lot and composting area. Located in SE PA. Base is 3' clay. Suggestions welcome regarding alternatives such as fly ash, hydrated lime applications, or compacted stone...

Sand does not hold up at all to backhoe or tractor scraping. on top of that, manure mixes with sand and so does hay and that would make an incredible mess indeed.
thanks anyway.
BTW I came on here hoping for expert advice but I can see livestock is not part of engineering school. So, thanks to all but I think I'll go ask a farmer or two now.
Warm regards,

By the way, the PA Ext. Agent recommended this solution, too.
