Farmyard Manure
"Sacha" wrote in message ... Well, I'm assuming the horse owner has checked that out, or gets the supply from a trusted source etc. But Kate would know where the wood shavings come from. Timber mills before the wood is treated perhaps? -- Sacha Agreed Sacha, timber products would normally be fully machined before treating with preservative, I would have thought. Pete |

Farmyard Manure
Thank you for your concern Baz but I am not daft enough to put my horses in any danger. The shavings come from - as Sacha says- a trusted source and are prepared for horses. I can open a bale and put down a bed and there is no dust at all, one of my pets likes nothing better than to put her own bed down, I open a bale and leave it to her, she jumps around on top of it having great fun, no dust at all in the air and certainly no sawdust :-) kate One reason that springs to mind is that is that in some cases preservatives are added to the timber, such as Tanalising which contains 'Tanalith E'. You don't want that in your stable! Copper, Chrome and Arsenic are in that chemical compound. It might rot down harmlessly, I don't know. Just a warning of what MIGHT be in those 'shavings' or sawdust.(the sawdust will contaminate the shavings) Baz |
