dirt ditch
Veteran Member
Thought I would put a link here thinking it might help someone else who is needing "how to" information on dirt work.
I was looking on the net for Information on how to properly cut ditches for a roadway when I came across the Army Field Manual for Earthmoving Operations. It is 202 pages in a PDF file (3.22 MB) and is in the public domain. Info on most dirt work topics.
