Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Am nominating myself for the Most Creative Use of Empty Aubiose Bags award. I've opened them out and fastened them to the bottom half of the WIR with cable ties. It has made a huge difference to the dryness of the Aubiose, and is keeping the draft out. Not exactly beautiful, but we can't see them from the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yes you win - I stuffed a 100ft extension lead in one today to keep the cable in one place not all round my shed. No contest tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 good plan! egluntyne, I'm just looking at your run - do you use tarpaflex on the sides as well, or do you find that because it's quite sheltered you dont get too much rain coming in between the sacks and the roof?

Egluntyne Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 It is quite sheltered, so I don't have much problem with the roof leaking. There is one spot that has shown tendencies, but the combination of YS, ladder and silicone sealant has helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Wow - top marks for the best recycling! I keep meaning to order a clear tarp for mine, it's sheltered on three sides but even so last year when it rained heavily quite a lot of the run floor got wet. And the roof leaks a bit. The hens don't seem to mind, they shelter under the Eglu table if it rains really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Brilliant Would cost you a fortune getting tarpaulin for your enormous run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Great idea I'm boring and just re-use mine for chicken manure/litter when my composts are full and a friend takes it for his lottie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
