Hi folks,

I know this question has been asked a few times but i had thought to put hard wood chipping on floor but was wondering what u do with them after, can u put them in compost bin?? if not what eles could i put in that would be more eco-friendly .

 

Many thanks

Donna

A lot of people including us, use horse bedding (EasiBed+) which is basically finely chipped pine that is treated to repel flies.

 

Another option is to use Hemcore or Aubuoise which is a similar product but it is made from hemp straw.

 

The latter will compost quicker but is lighter and can blow about a bit in my experience. (It can get really windy here mind).

 

I wouldn't recommend bark chippings as they can harbour harmful mould spores and tend to go a bit slimy when wet.

 

I think hardwood chippings would take an age to compost down and would probably be more expensive too.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Kev.

I just put my used hardwood chips onto the flower beds in my garden. I do get grass etc coming up from the food/corn I've feed them in the past but I find, between the chickens and wild birds, it soon disappears.
