As the title says.

 

I need to put a layer of hemcore on the base of my new 15' x6' WIR and I wondered if anyone could give me a guide as to how many bales I need to buy?

[AndreaT]

I've just used Allbed to cover the floor in my 12 x 6 run which I believe is similar to hemcore. I bought 4 bales and didn't think it would be enough but I actually only needed 2! This has given a covering of a few centimetres and I may add a third bale to give a little more depth although it's not really needed. So for a run your size I would say 3 or 4 depending how deep you want it.

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much Andrea - OH is out and about now trying to get some and I guessed about 4 so that is his instructions. I was worrying that wouldn't be enough, but from your post, seems I may have made a reasonable guestimate after all

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply

I'd say two

 

Its better to make it shallow and clean it out more than make it deep and have to dig it all out once in a blue moon!

I agree, I was thinking about 2

[Mum]

We've got 4 and I've laid 2 - looks good with 2; glad we got the 4 though

 

I've bought a "Coop Poop Scoop" which I'm going to hang on the inside of the WIR for convenience so I can keep in top of things
