I'm sure he did and would have been upset if the bush had been tilled under. Isolated bushes/trees in food plot type areas tend to serve as an attraction point for deer to create rubs and/or scrapes.

This was my thoughts exactly.

Put three hours in spreading 23 yards of quahog shells on the driveway yesterday covered about 250' of the 700'. First re-coat since new 3 1/2 tears ago.

Thats an interesting road topping. Do they break down or disolve in acid rain with time or do they act just like a stone top layer ?

Looks like you are doing a good job of it.

How is the ride when your mowing? is it smooth or is it like a tractor. ? I think you actually made me envious of that toolcat.

Gordon they come from the plant crushed to about 2-3" pieces. You spread them with the loader about 4-5" deep then top rake by hand . Some times I roll them but you don't have to as the car traffic does the job also. It took me some time to start as I needed to weed and spray the entire driveway before starting to spread the shells. Now it will go much faster as I can do about 100 feet per night after work in about an hour. They do break down to small chips about 1/8-1/4" and become as hard packed as concrete. It took 10 trailer loads (26 yards ea.) 3 1/2 years ago to put down the first layer at 12".

I get them from a very good friend for the cost of trucking only $50.00 per trip. He sells them for $360 a truck load plus trucking. That works out to about $13.84 per yard and a yard would cover about 100sq' at 4" depth.

Thanks for the reply. That is pretty interesting. I had no idea that sea shells would pack that way. Sounds like a good surface and a good deal. If it normally goes for $13.84 a yard it is more than we pay up here for a good hard packing gravel mix ( 3/4" plant mix or "sta-mat" so called) from the quarry which is $9.75 a yard.

A little cleaning up this weekend led me to discover this guy hanging out in a cedar I just got through cutting down. Guess I will need to pay a little more attention!

This evening I finally got some time to do some clean up on our property out in the back portion of our land. Removed branches, stumps, rocks.... Nice to get in the tractor again. :dance1:
