The sheds on the farm I bought are going to need some fill hauled
in. The pole shed is half concrete, but the back half is dirt.
Both the rear of the pole shed and the quanset had cattle or
horses in them and the dirt needs to be brought back up to grade.
My question is should I use sand or clay? I have access to both.
I can't afford class 5 or any other expensive fill, plus I don't
want the rocks. I'm wondering if the clay would pack better than
the sand, which I'm afraid will stay loose. It will be dry so mud
wont be an issue. I'm looking for as hard and solid a floor as I
can get with what I have.
