Sorry to ask a question that has already been asked a gazillion times before. Think of it as a useful distraction to the unfolding zombie apocalypse...
I'm running out of bedding (I've always used bog standard shavings) and, as I don't really want to have to go to the local agricultural supply shop if I don't have to at the moment, I though it would be a good opportunity to try something new and get a load delivered straight to the house.
Criteria - NOT STRAW as I can't stand the smell. Needs to be something that rots down well, isn't too acidic, and after a few years, can be spread on our fields and veggie beds. Also needs to be delivered to Central Scotland. Oh, and not cost the earth. We don't use much bedding really, horses (x 3) are only brought in for a few hours each day, but one of them wees a lot, and likes to kick it all round and smoosh it all together, just for fun. I have nice shavings forks and don't really want to have to buy new equipment.
Any recommendations for type of bedding and suppliers would be appreciated.
Thanks all x
