Two questions: (1) Do you age your bedding before adding it to the soil? (2) How do you keep your dog from rolling in it?
I've been struggling with this. I use wood chip bedding in my coop and clean it out on a monthly basis. I initially dumped the mixed waste in my compost pile but then had a very fragrant dog (yuk). I don't have any empty beds that I can immediately turn it into, and thought it should age a bit before scratching it into my existing flower beds. I think my solution will be to create a more dog-proof compost pile, likely out of wire with a lid of some sort. (My current compost method is pretty old-school - make a pile and turn with tractor bucket occasionally, start new pile when first one is ready.)
