  I've been delivering stabilize flyash/lime blend for a few years applying it to new subdivision roads and I never understood what it does to the clay and I've asked many people and nobody could seem to answer it for me...I just learned everything I wanted to know in this video. Thank you!

  Very interesting I used lime in building my earth house and the shrinkage was little 4 years on it seems to be stronger.

  I&apos;m trying to dry out clay soils where grass will be going over. Should I not be using hydrated lime? It&apos;s over clay

  Thank you Dale. You say that as the molecular size gets smaller the surface area increases. This appears to be a contradiction of terms to me. I therefore conclude that I just didn&apos;t understand what you said, so could you explain it to me please? Does clay expand and contract because it is highly hydroscopic? I understand that material such as gravel and sand is hydrophobic which would make it a stable material where water would only fill the voids. This is another new source of knowledge to me, and it&apos;s fascinating. 🙏
