Hi Sid.

What was your base & depth below the chalk ?
Was it soil, or roadbase, or crushed rock, or lime, or ... ???

Many Thanks
Julian

It was tracked in stone from our own quarry.

Has gone in really well.

^^,Will it not lift when you muck it out ,,tyres digging in ,muck fork tines will go straight through it

Tyres dont dig in.
Use a bucket to clean out as yes fork tines will dig in and loosen.unkess they are used very carefully with out too much crowd.
Mini digger with grading bucket is cwhat I use then wide loader bucket or pull push to the doorway then use a wide fork carefully to load out

If you're in a chalky area you will get it delivered free, we use it a lot in cattle sheds / cow tracks etc. Get it right and it goes like concrete, get it wrong and it goes like porridge!

How do you get it right ?

Had hundreds of tons delivered free in the last couple of years for cow tracks. Presumably they charge enough to the building site to cover it, and the alternative landfill would cost them. Still getting phone calls wanting me to take more.

Who do you get it from?

Hi, Who supplies free chalk in Hampshire

Thinking of using chalk floor on straw/machinery shed
1) is it better than crushed limestone or road planings
2) is it cheaper than the above
3) where can I get it

Got some coming up in a few months
Herts Beds Cams border area
