    Deep Litter Method, Please Explain?

    Can somebody explain how the deep litter method works? Do you just keep adding litter? How do you get all the poop out? If you don't remove the poop, how is the smell and flies handled? Thank you in advance for your help. I want to try this method but am concerned about smell and pest. Kim
