Subject: RE: Depends on soil you have



Chilliwack BC
Our soil has lots of peat in it so adding sand does it more good than harm, and probably improves drainage as well.

We don't have a sand lane but 2 dairies within a few miles do, milking 1000 and 1800 cows. All stories coming from those places about the sand lanes is positive. They have a 90% recovery rate. If we built new facilities in the next while, a sand lane would be included in it. I don't have any pictures or know any details such as slope% of the neighbors.

I agree about not digging it out of a lagoon being a big advantage. The other is a huge reduction in your bedding bill.
