Shavings vs Dust

Rookie mistake. In anticipation of the rubber mat installation we bought 6 bags of wood shavings. They smelled great, and looked good, too. Nearly impossible to sift or sort manure from, and not really absorbent for urine.

When we exhausted the bags we replaced them with dust. These bags are so heavy, I can barely lift them, but take up just as much room on the pallet in the shed.

What a huge difference dust makes! Absorbs the urine so quickly it is not easily detected that it was wet. So much better sifting manure, even tiny pony biscuits.

Why didn't we realize this before? Don't let this happen to you.
