    Sorry if this is a sand repeat ...

    I noticed someone posted a question about using sand in lieu of shavings for their DLM but I didn't see an answer, even after reading many pages. What is the consensus regarding using sand or possibly a mixture of 50/50 sand and shavings? Thanks in advance!
