To separate sawdust and iron fillings, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron fillings from the sawdust. The iron fillings will be drawn towards the magnet, allowing you to easily separate them from the sawdust.
sawdust and sometimes sand.
sand, soil
Answerscoop out the obviously dirty muck and screen the remaining - not so dirty muck -. We use a piece of chicken wire nailed over a 3 x 3 wood frame. It saves having to replace about half the sawdust. Scatter what goes through the screen and discard what does not. If you top-dress the stall with fresh sawdust it looks good. If you have dirt floors, do whatever is necessary to keep the dirt level. Perhaps, level your floors and then put mats in the stalls. Use plenty of dehydrated lime to deal with the ammonia. Stalls do not have to be clean... they only have to look - and smell - clean.Okay...This is the person who wrote the question: The floors are like gravel with wire over it so the pee sinks down in and keeps the ammonia to a super low low smell. I use a pitchfork for the remaining, and the dirty, but your advice was great, thanks! The last part-- I like that- Lol.
