Can this be done or do you use too much sawdust making it too expensive or does it just not work? If would be for youngstock, not milkers
How often would you top it up? Of just put in 6 inches to start with?We use to do it when we had furniture factory next-doors, use to run the power Harrow over it once a week, had the milkers and youngstock, was free think it would cost a fair bit now.
You have to watch where you get it we used to do it but ended up full off bits of glass and plastic in the end so stopped but if you can get it clean it’s a great productSeen it done on before with ground up wood. Works very very well. So absorbent and sticks to the dung. Stir around with grab once a week or so.
Any concerns with spreading this type of fym on grassland

No, it's only as clean as the saw dust and source material itself but provided no nails/glass then you are good to go. Will break down slowly with dung added.
Anaerobic v aerobic.Would it not depend where it was I would imagine into slurry would break down faster than piled with box muck
It needs to be dry , I tried fresh green sawdust years ago and was hoplesCan this be done or do you use too much sawdust making it too expensive or does it just not work? If would be for youngstock, not milkers
It was wet before you started, a breeding ground for bacteria, and zero absorbency.It needs to be dry , I tried fresh green sawdust years ago and was hoples
Yes , the sawdust was free from a local mill but no good for that jobIt was wet before you started, a breeding ground for bacteria, and zero absorbency.
Woodchip corals worked,sort of, because it created a drained surfaced. No cover and the rain washed the poo through
