Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[Goldstar]

I raked over my woodchip tonight because I noticed where it had been raining the earth underneath was very hard.(At the moment I have a shower curtain covering the top of the run to stop the rain, but it is pooling and when the wind blows, blows straight into the run) I now wish I hadnt bothered because it stinks. There was a feint smell before but now I have churned it all up and made it 100 times worse.

Could anyone recommend something I could put down to help get rid of it. I have heard that garden lime is good, would anyone recommend it and is it the stuff you can get from b&q?

 

Any replies would be gratefully received. Thank you.

Yes, garden lime works very well. I bought mine in the local garden centre.

How about some Stalosan F as well? Its a fine pink powder that seems to kill all sorts of smells. You can buy it online from Flytes so Fancy and other places. I think it is amazing stuff!

Yep, would recommend Stalosan F too. It isn't that cheap, but my tub has lasted ages! I sprinkle it everywhere!

Stalosan F and garden lime fan here too .

Thank you so much for your replies. When I went out earlier the smell had gone. But I am still going to use the garden lime. When using stalosan f do the chickens need to be removed from the run? Think I will use this too as it seems to get rid of all sorts of beasties.

No, you can use the Stalasan with the chickens in situ

Right, this is what I have done - today I bought some garden lime, when the chickens had gone to bed I raked over the area again and put some lime down then raked it through, then I did it again, then lastly I have sprinkled some on top. Does this sound ok, or have I gone over board or not done enough?

 

On wednesday morning I am going to order some stalosan which then should arrive thurs or fri,(I cant order it any sooner because I want to make sure someone is here to receive it) then will treat with that.

Thank you again for replying to previous posts.

That sounds fine . I'm not sure if there's a right or wrong amount, to be honest!
