Ygerna Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I am looking a buying some Stalosan F from ebay. It comes in 25kg packs. Can anyone give me a rough guide to how long this should last me please? A ball park figure will do. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The recommended useage is 50g ( a handful) per sqm, so if you work out your run sixe and how often youthink you will use it, you can guesstimate how big a box you need. I have a 25kg box which I have had for around 9 months, and it has around a quarter left. Postage costs are massive, so if you can source some locally, it might save you a considerable amount.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have had the 8kg box for just over a year. There's still a bit more than half left. I have the same number of chickens as you so I reckon that size would do you for quite a long time. I only use it every 6 weeks or so but sprinkle it liberally all over the run area.

Ygerna Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thank you for the info. I was going to get it from ebay as I have some credit, however I am going to see if I can get a smaller pck from an equestrian supplier near here.

The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Also look for something called Bio-Dri (sp?) as it does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have some credit, You should really be buying some extra chickens with that . I just re-read that and thought, 'hang on, why on earth did I put a chicken in the middle of that? ' The answer of course is that my shorthand for Paypal is P P and well, you know what that becomes on here Doesnt matter anyway, I've spent my Paypal credit on a Jam Pan because Poet made me on the all things nice forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
