The 'soil' around my house is very heavy black clay. In the summer it cracks something terrible. How have others dealt with this issue? I was thinking of free floating with balast but Im worried if it cracks Ill loose the ballast. Not to mention it would be hard to run trains then... My thoughts were to dig a trench and put in the turkey/chicken grit, but put some pressure treated wood under the track and then more ballast. My thoughts are if it cracks at least the track would remain stable and I could reballast later. All input appreciated!
