Thanks! We know all too well the work involved on the Lowes trips! So it sounds like I should just start digging and get this track in. So my next question(s) is/are: <br />For SE Michigan area: <br />How deep/wide for the trench? Should I line it with landscape fabric to control weeds? I will be using chicken grit for final ballast and looks but don't know what to fill the trench with. A local supply house has two items that may pass for the crushed rock everyone talks of. The first is crushed limestone 6A - also called driveway stone .01 the other is paver base .0097(3/8 in Down limestone)which is used under brick pavers and has lots of dust and very small stone, it packs tight like cement when wet but drains very well. Is that too small for the subroadbed? I am driving myself (and wife) crazy over the method to use to get this freakin track down. <br />Or would I be better off just looking at another method? I have to get track down this summer. <br />
