MadMitch Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I am building a run which I am using the base of an old block greenhouse I found in the garden. It will be approx 17ft x 8 ft. Can anyone tell me how many bales of hemcore/auboise I will need to cover this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I would say three or four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The thicker you have it the more they like it. Mine have a covering of about three inches and they spend all day scratching about in it. They even use it to dustbathe in. Mind you I only have an Elgu, I only needed about 4 bucketloads for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 mines 12x3 and 2/3 is hemcore i use half a bag quite deep so i'd say 3 bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 My run is 12' x 6' and one bag is plenty - gives a really thick layer. I think 2 would be plenty for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for asking that - I needed to decide how many bales to source. My run is about 13ft by 10 feet so am going to try with 2 bales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
