I've got a shallow trug thing but not sure what to put in it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufusrooster Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 i get a bag of top soil from b&q, mix some diatom and louse powder in with it, just needs a bit of time to dry out and they love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutti Frutti Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 tis is my all weather one under the shrubs, used to me a dog kennel... Wow Rufus, that's brilliant and one of those covered cat litter trays will be perfect. Aaagh I threw out a leaky one (ewww!) not so long ago! We're lucky as we have a dry area underneath the overhanging nestbox that the girls love to use... no stopping them, just soil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
