Wrote off pine shavings for years because of the dust, then a 6 dollar bale at the co-op won me over

I spent 4 years on straw and kept sweeping out the same soggy mess every two weeks, so a neighbor's claim that shavings last twice as long sounded like nonsense to me. Two months in and the coop floor is dry, the smell is way less, and I use about half as much bedding per change. Anyone else switching over, and do you sprinkle any extra on top through the week or just leave it alone?
