DIY poor man gravel road dust control

Do they still sell that? E-Z Base was a big hit for a few years around here (well NE of here), till they found the dust was basically asbestos, and then other problems. Power plant stopped selling it, and now I think its buried in a land fill?View attachment 4323564

Nope, coal ASH is not coal CINDERS.

The smoother you make the road, the faster cars will drive down it. Let the potholes get deep enough and you won't have dust from cars!

Now that is useful advice in most cases, except it won't slow ATVs a lot. Same goes for trails in the woods, if you don't trim the brush fewer people will race their ATV through, also narrow trails keep the SXS out

I use calcium or oil, many of the paper mill products get quite slippery when wet.
