I've read some good things about using sand in the run. My question is about how to layer materials, including sand, in the run. We have okay drainage and good weather -- I live in the Bay Area, California.
We plan on using Saturday Lime and all-purpose sand (from Home Depot / Lowe's, since we don't have access to it otherwise). Do I need anything else in addition to these two?
Do I put down Saturday Lime first (how thick?), and then dump the sand on top? How thick should each layer be?
At some point, should I deep clean/remove all the layers and how often should that be throughout the year? I plan on poo/picking the sand regularly, but I want to avoid a buildup of any pests/parasites etc.
Thanks!
