Hi everyone
Why cant i use a capping layer like 6f5 as a starter layer?
It seems there are really only two types of material for starter layers 6B and c which are quite restrictive.

If used a 6f5 as a starter layer and placed a geotextile to ensure no migration of fines occured could that work. given that the layer itself is only 150mm thick.
