Fix Road Pothole/Puddle - PEP BB earthworks.sand.pothole

There was a pothole up at the labs, so I used wood ash to fill the hole. I was excited to try this after watching a youtube video of all the uses of wood ash.

Hey I fixed a pothole!

I have a short section of road/track in a wet area of my land. It was pooling water in a few spots so we dumped a load of stone, left over from another project, and spent a couple of hours with friends tamping and spreading it to create a much stronger, drier road.

Pictures show the before, with puddling/potholes; the stone and the mess made when dumping it; the finished road.

I'm about to move to another town, before leaving I thought it would have been kind fixing one (or three) pothole on the road that I've been using for the past year.

I found the material on site:
- the dirt was "leftovers" from a big tractor that drove with no regards to the soil being wet
- the gravel was from a lower point of the road, where in a previous extreme rainfall flushed a good deal of gravel (road) on the side of the road.

I mixed the two materials in a wheelbarrow.

I already drove a vehicle on repaired pothole.

The neighbour (whose yellow fence you see in the attached pictures) approved.

Hope you do too.

Used sifted rock/gravel
