Using HempChips™ as horse bedding:

Before starting a stall with HempChips™ be sure it is clean from all other bedding and manure. Mixing HempChips™ with other types of bedding will limit achievement of all the product benefits.
We recommend using 4 bags of HempChips™ to start a 12ft. x 12 ft. stall.
To activate the absorption qualities of the HempChips™ we recommend sprinkling 1-2 gallons of water over them once placed in the stall.
Remove the manure daily, digging out the wet spots as required.
Expect to use only one bag of HempChips™ every 5-7 days depending on the horse and the daily turn out time.
You will find that a much smaller manure pile is produced due to the reduced material being removed in comparison to other bedding products.

Using HempChips™ as a garden mulch:

HempChips™ can be used through spring, summer, or fall as a garden mulch to replace wood based mulches
To use as a garden mulch spread the HempChips™ about 2-4 inches deep over the garden area to keep plants moist and reduce weed pressure. Water as needed.
The HempChips™, if left undisturbed ,once dry will slightly crust over and will not blow away.
You can blend HempChips™ with other top mulches to change the appearance of your garden to suit your taste.

HempChips™ are a great alternative to peat moss for potting soils and when transplanting young plants into your garden.
Add 4-5 liters of HempChips™ to 1 bag of soil (approximately a 10:1 ratio of soil to HempChips™). The light colour of HempChips™ contrasts against the dark soil to give you an easy way to determine the ratio.
Use mixture of soil and HempChips™ for potting and transplanting as needed.
