well, I am going to give it a shot. If it doesn't work well then it is just another lesson learned.

Just set up one of my large grow out tubs... BARELY covered the bottom with pine pellets... then very quickly sprayed the pellets with a fine mist of water from the hose. witin a few minutes it swelled up to about an inch deep. Most of the pellets did not loose their shape, they just got bigger. Put the rats back in.


Will report back on what happens. It is amazing how much it expands. If this works, I am really going to be able to "stretch out" each bag!
