If you want to keep the eglu in one place in the garden keeping it on wood chippings is a great solution. Cleaning the run is as simple as raking out and replacing the soiled chippings every month or so.
Making a chipped area for your eglu doesn\'t take long and is quite cheap too.
What you need:
1 eglu and ducks.
A 4 metre by 1.5 metre area of ground. This will give plenty of area for the eglu and access to the slide-out dropping tray .
300 litres of wood chippings: available from any good garden centre. Choose a chunky type, the smaller varieties can turn a bit mulchy. Bark chippings can be used but again these will go mulchy faster than wood chippings.24ft of edging (this is enough to make a 3 sided area like ours.): We\'ve chosen a wooden edging but there are plenty of styles from plastic to wire. If you don\'t use the edging then the wood chips will soon spread all over your garden
