Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[fluffyknickers]

Going to get the ground prepared soon for the cube and 2m run.

 

Did you/should I lay some weed fabric down first before the woodchip and hemcore/amboise or just straight on to the grass/mud?

 

Thanks

I just have my hemcore or easibed on plain soil. It works fine - I use garden lime and Stalosan F to keep the soil healthy.

[fluffyknickers]

Thank you - you are great at replying.

 

Ordering some stalosan F so will put that down and going to get some aubiose from the nearest supplier.

 

Have ordered Linkabord form omlet that will come with all the rest of the stuff - and the chooks of course!

Hi, I did the same, but found that the hemcore/Aubiose got muddy within a day or two Now, we've loosely laid cheap slabs (£1.40 each from B&Q) on the ground, with gaps in between for rain water to run into, and that's worked a lot better. (Having said that, TBH we didn't leave enough of a gap, and with all this snow the run is almost waterlogged. When it gets a bit drier and warmer we'll make bigger gaps ).

 

We have awful London clay in our garden, though, so the water doesn't soak away very well. Maybe Ain't "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here has nicer soil and so you don't get as much of a problem with mud.

 

Good luck!

That's interesting thank you.

 

I think its a case of 'suck it and see'!

 

If after just having soil and the bedding it gets yucky and muddy then we will change and put slabs down.

 

I think we are going to have some fun getting the set up right!

Apologies for not replying, I usually can't help it even when I haven't a clue what the answer is.
