Miscanthus stem has a thick pithy core, and that core is what does the work: it takes moisture down into the base of the bed and holds it there, so the surface the horse stands on stays drier for longer than it would on wheat straw.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt goes through the same double vacuum de-dusting as the rest of the range and carries the same food-grade eucalyptus fragrance, added at baling. Sundown describe it as their most eco-friendly bedding, grown in Britain on land that needs no annual replanting. It costs more per bale than the wheat straw, and lasts correspondingly longer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePithy miscanthus core makes it the most absorbent chopped bedding Sundown make.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLong lasting, so the cost per week narrows against cheaper straw despite the higher bale price.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDouble vacuum de-dusted for a very low dust bed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHolds moisture and ammonia below the surface, which keeps the stable smelling better between muck outs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100% British-grown miscanthus, fully traceable, from a perennial crop.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFood-grade eucalyptus fragrance added during baling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBETA NOPS approved and fully compostable.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWet or messy horses, and stables where damp is the recurring problem.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHorses and handlers with respiratory sensitivities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompetition yards needing BETA NOPS approved bedding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting a perennial, non-timber bedding that composts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore bedding than a clean, dry stabled horse needs — Sundown Green wheat straw does that job for less.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u0026lt;\u0026gt; \u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLay a new bed with 4–5 bales in a 12ft x 12ft stable, banked or flat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTop up with 1–2 bales weekly according to use and the depth you want.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSkip out thoroughly — miscanthus carries wet below the visible surface, so lifting only the obvious patches leaves it in the bed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKeep bales under cover.
