Hi Guys,
I have been given the OK by Kevin (he has spoken to the council) to fill in the ruts made by the motorbikes, so I have been looking at the various soil/fill suppliers on the net - unfortunately most places are closed today. I have found that Turtle Nursery's at Rouse Hill sell "fill" at $10/T or something they call "filling soil" at $20/T so I will investigate these further to determine which is the most suitable for our use.
Given the damage done by the bikes this is not just a 2 hour job, but I was thinking of making a start over the next couple of days and filling the deepest ruts in the middle of the strip so that we can at least get 1/2 to 2/3 of the strip usable when the weather lets up. My intention was to buy 1 or 2 tonnes of the above fill and trailer it to the field however I can only take about 1/2 tonne per load, so would anyone else have a box trailer and be able to assist with the cartage.
Obviously I can only proceed with this if the field is not too wet and can take the weight of the laden trailer. I will be going down to the field later today to check.
Cheers
Chris M
