Well with the constant wet weather we have been having, the ground just isnt drying so i spread a mix of chippings and gravel to get them off the wet ground. Also the eggs will be a hell of lot cleaner now and wont be caked in mud!
I saw a lads half beddy whippet, it marked but used to dig and bite at the holes, it was marking but i couldnt stand that if it was my dog, quiet is a must
I know your pain, i was lucky enough to get hold of some wood chippings to do one small area..
Going to try get some more, straw works for a short while, not long though
