So this has annoyed me the last 13 or so years. Our short 1/2-3/4 mile gravel road always seems to have folks barrelling along kicking up dust. I live a 1/4 from the main highway so I am not in a huge rush. Idle in second allows the turbo to cool down in the vehicles. Anyhow some folks like to kick up dust. I saw some article that the county claims they do dust control. I have never seen a road in my county with dust control on it. So I doubt that I can get them to do anything so I was wondering if anyone has some practical ideas.
My well is up front so I don't have any desire to contaminate it. I see some comments about calcium this or that, soy oil, tree stuff but nothing that is more DIY. Road is only one lane, I maintain a fair bit of it as it is easier than calling the county who makes a mess anyways. A new to us horse is going in to quarantine for a few months up by the road and it would be nice if the horse doesn't have to eat a lot of dust. In my rambling way I did not say I only need to deal with a few hundred feet. Getting a few bags of calcium something and spreading it with a fertilizer spreader would be ok. I guess I might have to churn things up with the scrape blade or the pulverizer if I go that route. Looking for ideas.
