Sorry to 'Beat a Dead Horse' but Looking for Specifics...

so I know ash disposal has been discussed so much that it could have its own section on here....but through all the reading, I haven't been able to find specific info regarding the use on driveways... I'm wanting to do this to add a nice layer on my entire drive as its getting pretty rough, but was wondering for those of you that do this, do you just dump the entire 'load' and spread it, or do you sift out the very fine stuff and just use the heavier stuff like any clinkers or chunks? Figured I would ask before I go and screw up the lane and turn it into a mud pit for my quads.. lol

If you live where it rains every day, it just fine for driveways.
In the summer when things dry out completely, it's very dusty.

thanks tsb, after a few rains and being driven heavily on, does the dust settle down when it is dry?

Yes, I've never had a dust problem come spring/summer but I do get right on rolling/driving on it

do you just dump it all on the drive? I'm mainly worried that it'll turn to pure mud.

I have a long drive & found that if I use a hand tamper when I fill in the holes it works much better, can't be too wet or too dry. I even have some neighbors that will gladly take it from me.

I use them on the driveway here too. The best is a small amount of rain and then driving over them seems to pack them down for good. We are on a tiny slope so the end of the driveway washes away down the road. If I go for a walk, I can see unburnt coal washed down the road about the size of rice so every now and then I take a shovel out and bring it back up to the driveway and let the process repeat itself.
