Need to put some larger rock down first to establish a base. How much, and how big depends on intended traffic. If for big truck and heavier equipment travel, maybe 3 inch for starters. If intended for car, pickup, and golf cart traffic, 2 inch probably be ok. This base needs to be driven on after some rain fall, if put on when ground is pretty dry. If this driveway is being put where the dirt is pretty black and deep, or soil is sand, or where ground stays pretty wet for long time after a rain, you might very well have to put this base size rock down more than once. Untill it stops squishing into the ground when driven on. Once base is established, then put on smaller rock of your preference. 3/4 inch or so to give the driveway its final surface. Maybe 1/2 inch for light vehicle traffic. Be patient. Establishing a good rocked driveway is not going to be accomplished in a day, and hold up and look nice after the first time it rains. It takes time, rain, and traffic, and 2 or 3 applications of rock during that time to really establish a nice driveway. One thats not going to have pot holes, or disappear, and look nice after the first time it rains. Limestone will stay put fairly well. But that polished, hard, won't desolve, whatever they call it rock, has a tendency to not stay put. Squish around when you drive on it. Leave wheel tracks, and won't stay in pot holes, and so on.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
