jimnpaula Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I use a tub trug like the ones on the left and filled it with old compost, wood ash, diatom and some builders sand (it was all we had). They seem to like it as they've dug it all out! Play sand would be much better than builders sand as it would be 'softer'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
