Something to consider once you have installed your geotextile layer and top footing: It will only stay nice if it is maintained meticulously, so if your trees are dropping matter on your footing you’ll need clean it just as you would clean up after your horses.[/QUOTE]
Makes me wonder what kind of tools will get plant debris up – probably not a typical pitchfork. Well, I can hope! I am NOT getting down on my hands and knees.
Price-wise (and I haven’t done a comparison) I may end up using organic material over the cloth instead of gravel. This is a rental, and I can’t dump TONS of money into it, nor am I sure I want to do something irreversible. I would of course discuss with the property owner but he is out of state so it’s unlikely he would see what I was doing till it was over/too late. I still think the fabric would be a good idea, even if I covered it with hogfuel/bark/chips.
