I have started ballasting and laying artificial turf on the side of the track on the Cane Line.
For ballast I used 7mm Blue Metal rock and Artificial Turf offcuts left over from turfing an area next to a swimming pool.
I made up a trial piece using a 50/50 Exterior PVA glue mixed with water with some drops some of diswashing liquid as a wetting agent to hold the loose ballast and left it out in the weather for over 6 months and it stood up really well.

Following the success of the trial I commenced laying the ballast and turf around the Cane Line.
