Which bedding and where to buy in bulk

Having been a lifelong fan of clean comfy straw beds and been disappointed with shavings I tried Megazorb - it's made from by-product of wood/paper industry, is kiln dried so super dry, mould and dust free. Comes in huge bags but is so light it's easy to lug around unlike those heavy shavings and pellet bags. They say it takes approx 10 bags to start up and 1/2-1 bag per week thereafter BUT in my experience 5 bags made a good soft start up bed in a 12x12 stable. I use 1/2 bag per week (1 bag if he's in 24/7) so it is very economical as well as kind on my back. It is super absorbant so mucking out is very quick and easy - just droppings and a small amount of soaked bedding each day. Unlike straw etc the urine is absorbed instantly reducing odours and containing it in a fork sized patch. Banks well, breaks down on muck heaps while you watch and as so little is wasted means smaller muck heaps too. Shop around and ask for discount from your supplier. Our yard's hemp etc users were amazed. Also - it doesn't get eaten by the pony! Apparently this stuff is used by many racing and professional showjumping stables.

Couldn't recommend this more highly.
