Pitmoss roost

[jbreeden00]

I was looking into bedding and saw a product called Pitmoss Roost. I believe it is a type of recycled paper/cardboard. It states it last longer than pine shavings, so i dont have to clean my coop so often. I can throw it on the compost also.
Who has experience with this product and what are your thoughts?

A way cheaper option is pine pellets; although I've never used pine pellets, they seem like they would be a similar consistency to the cardboard fibers once wetted down. I wouldn't wet them down though. And they can go in the compost. Plus a 40 lb bag of pine pellets at TSC which costs $7.49 is 10 cents cheaper than their pine shavings!
@Debbie292d knows a lot about using pine pellets!

I've never seen this product on here.
Looks mighty expensive, with probably false claims.

You all have talked me into going to TSC and getting horse pellets.

They can just read your thread as the first person I see who replied was me.

We use pine pellets and only clean the coop once a year. I highly doubt their cardboard product can beat that!
