I have 3 big pigs in 2 open areas, one closer to my home and one farther away.
They have selected their preferred toilet region to be right at the gate where we walk into the pig area. Each week we shovel it all up and move it farther away to a compost pile, but during wetter seasons its getting heavier and more smelly. Is there a way to natually help them choose another toilet? I was considering putting some cinder blocks all around to cover it but I these guys are strong and might just start pushing those around without trouble. Its impossible to go through their area without walking through their poop (my boots constantly need hosing down now) and its a lower lying region, so it gets muckier.
Or, can we throw something on top of the poo area that will demuck it?
