Convenient to fill a stall from empty with oversized 22kg bags. And simple to top-up, less frequently. We recommend 1 bag/fortnight

Each bag of HERDD swells to multiples of its dry state (~4x), providing more, long lasting bedding; making it economical too!
-
Unsoiled bedding is long lasting for 12 months or more (actually, much more with good stable management and ventilation!)
-

. HERDD's innate charateristics are particularly suited to making animals with sensitive airways, comfortable
. HERDD is dehydrated to ~7% (that is super duper dry), & is able to be used UNactivated, like a litter, straight out of the bag

Environmentally friendly, including the packaging
Our bag is 100% compostable - that means you can put it in your manure pile to compost, burn it in your (legal!) fireplace, put it in your garden as weed mat, in your garden compost bin, or simply recycle it in your council collection.
We don’t use soft plastic packaging, as you can’t recycle it conveniently, and you certainly can’t compost it

Soiled HERDD bedding makes awesome organic matter for your plants!
HERDD is mildly acidic (pH 4-6) organic matter which these ‘acid-loving’ plants thrive in. Even better, when HERDD has been ‘cooking’ away for months in your manure heap, it will be FULL of earth worms & rich organic soil for planting new plants or mulching around existing ones.
