Have only tried in portion of aviary so far, but going to put it in half to 3/4 of chicken area next and video/photograph progress for possible article! Itā€™s a little more costly than traditional materials (estimation) but if it helps build grass/clover base and easier clean-up than shoveling straw/shavings/poo etc, may in fact be more cost-efficient in the long run......for urban/suburban homesteads???

I knew about the mother in my rhubarb, but forgot about babies two minutes before the blood and intestines went flying.
