The recommended six bags was sufficient to make a full bed. Really easy to lay in the stable. It’s greatly reduced the mucking out time and effort, and the stable only needs to be topped up with one bag per week, making it really cost-effective. It’s super absorbent and the wet patches rise to the top, making them easy to remove. Love the fact they’re not dusty, and it’s helped make the muck heap more manageable, too. It provides a deep, comfortable bed and have found it doesn’t carry the odour that straw sometimes can.
