Coop litter going into run

[MROO]

definitely have plenty of space for a few truckloads! Appreciate you getting back to me on this, reaching out to a couple of tree companies for inquiry as well as the county...worth a shot. Hoping to get a couple of loads this week to get started!

If anyone in your household is allergic to poison ivy, steer clear of the county. Professional tree-trimmers and landscapers tend to be more aware of what they're handling, while the county just needs to clear roadside hedgerows. As a result, chips from the Public Works Dept. often include poison ivy. And yes, we learned this the hard way. My Mom is allergic and the "free" wood chips nearly hospitalized her!

Chunky wood chips (or bark nuggets or untreated mulch, if you don't have room to store a pile of chips) would be far better to deal with mud.

Shavings unfortunately just get water logged and add to the mess, they don't allow for aeration and drainage in the same way.

It's a mix of sawdust large pieces and mulchsized
