Using EcoBed
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
After completely mucking out the stable, use EcoBed to make a firm
bed and bank up the sides. One bale of EcoBed is comparable in volume
to an average bale of shavings.
Scrimping on the initial bed can be false economy! A good bed will
require less topping up.
When 'skipping' out, throw the 'muck' up against the
wall. (A shavings fork is ideal for this task). The muck and bedding
will then separate, allowing for easy removal of droppings.
To remove wet bedding, scrape away the surface of the bed to reveal
the wet beneath. Remove this in order to re-establish a 'dry top',
which can have fresh EcoBed added if necessary.
To aerate and fluff-up the bed, simply toss it about with a fork.
Periodically sweep out the box by gently throwing all the bedding
up against the sides and sweeping away all the small particles, such
as hay, chaff, food or crushed droppings, from the bare floor. This
helps to maintain a clean and fresh bed, ensuring it lasts longer
and alleviates the risk of dust and dirt accumulation.
The amount of EcoBed used will depend on several factors: -
- The size of stable
- The bedding depth required
- The cleanliness of the horse
- The amount of time the stable is
occupied
- Your own preferences
- The type of system you operate – deep
litter, daily skipping out; completely daily muck out, weekly muck
out etc.
EcoBed is the only bedding your horse will ever need or you will
ever want!
