    Any one using it. Do you find it good.
    How much it costing?
    Any issues spreading it after with a side slung spreader

    I use it. Costs me about €140 odd a year. I fill a 15ft x 20ft shed 4 times a year. No bother firing it out of a muck spreader either. Just remember it swells with moisture so of you put in 6in then it'll be 9in when cleaning out. Bedding should last roughly 6 to 8 weeks depending on stocking rate on it
