AJuff Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I've just started using easibed in the run , eglu and nesting area. I generally clean out fully once a week but it hardly seemed worth it, it still looks and smells fab. How often do others clean out when they use the super absorbant hemcore/easibed/aubiose??

Snowy Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Very rarely! My large run has a mixture of earth, aubiose and old bark chips in there now. It has a roof on so is very dry - I can never find any poos to pick, they seem to get absorbed, so it hasn't been done for months (in my defence I am waiting until I have the allotment so that I can take it all down there for my raised beds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Eglu and cube once a week (twice if needed). Run...about every 6 weeks, with the occasional top up in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I have a walk in run and use Aubiose on the floor. I rake up the Aubiose once a week and pick out any bit of rotting vegetation etc. I sprinkle Stalosan on the floor, then rake the Aubiose back down. I remove all the Aubiose and replace with fresh every 4-6-8 weeks, depending on whether it needs it. At the moment it's been 5 weeks, but my girls are out free ranging most of the day and so the Aubiose will probably last in there for another two or three weeks. I also use Aubiose in the nestbox, and I change this completely every 4 weeks when I jetwash the inside of the Cube. However, I could easily resuse what I take out, maybe in the poo trays. Actually, I wonder why I hadn't thought of that before? Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Amazing stuff! Wish I'd started using it earlier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I use hemcore in our walk in run. The cube gets dismantled and washed with the power washer every saturday The run gets cleaned out every 3-6 weeks depending on weather conditions (the wetter weather makes the run smellier) I poo pick every day.

StephanieSB Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Is Stalosan the same as "Poultry Ark Maid"?. Seems to have same use -- just wondering if it's just the same product under a different name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Looking at the write up, it sounds similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
