We don't have experience per se, but we put the pine shavings compost directly on to our acid loving plants (blueberries!) and the hemp, which doesn't appear to have the same acidity around the others. The girls scratch and disperse it for us and it breaks down quite quickly. The only issue with dumping bedding straight into the garden is just having an understanding of the make up of your bedding and which plants can tolerate it.
We have an extremely low spot in the back corner which holds standing water. What we have done is plant natives to hopefully help soak it up but we are dumping all the leaves raked and bedding from the chickens and it's building up nicely. The chickens break it down so well that we can always add more when the time comes. It's a perfect way to help fix our yard and the chickens love it!
