    Did it just melt? Worms steal it? Reminds me of a lady I worked with that had tulips in front of her house and she swore they were getting shorter every day... Finally she went out there and tugged on one, apparently chipmunks had tunneled under them and were eating them from the bottom up and...

    My understanding is that the listeria issues are mostly from leafy greens which are close to the ground, when they water or it rains the soil tends to splash up which will coat the plants in whatever they are growing in (soil, fertilizer, compost, etc) unless they are mulched. I seriously doubt...

    That is only for the feces, those aren't in the sawdust. I use pine pellets for litter, they use it, any pellets that get wet turn into sawdust and are removed, the feces are removed separately and at this point trashed. I don't see how cat waste would be any worse than human though and human is...

    But, Ammonia breaks down to nitrogen, so how can it be too high when adding it to sawdust which is ALL carbon? I'm already using the sawdust as mulch around the beds to smother out the grass. I'm not too worried about pathogens from the cats who live indoors and don't have any parasites when...

    Apparently the fabric comes in different thicknesses. Good idea on velcro, that should work and it is really strong when pulled across it's self rather than peeled so that should work well! Yeah, I just kinda want a way to contain the manure up where it is being produced rather than having to...

    Ok, so, I have horses, they are going to be fed hay all winter in a run in shed which = lots of horse manure all in one place. Over the summer they have been wandering almost 10 acres so no need to clean any of it up but I will need to clean some this winter to keep them from getting their shed...
