You might consider using sand. It stays dry when wet, easy to clean and maintain, soft of the foot pads, keeps the flies away and the stink. Here is a nice thread on sand that you might want to read thru. Sand is all I use everywhere. I am hooked!!.....

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!
