For Christmas this year, I used about five gallons of diesel fuel. I had four loads of concrete washout delivered two days prior and spent about five hours spreading it out around the parking area. I’ll start calling this area the parking lot, just for reference’s sake.

Concrete washout is great as a base layer for gravel or stone. After one rain and dry cycle, it packs down quite well. After it’s shaped, packed, and covered, most of the rain will run over the top of it, just like concrete.

While tractor time was a success, this batch of washout was too wet to get a final smoothing. I’ll come back after one wet/dry cycle and finish it off.
