Anyone ever used this? Or is it too humid, even if dried out before hand?

If it's a bad idea, any suggestions for a darker looking substrate that could be used?

I use it for my carpets. It does need drying out before use but I like it. I use the co**** chunks of it but if I was going to use it for corns I would go for the fine stuff so they can burrow in it easier.

Is fine to use if oven dried beforehand.

Glad I read down, I had been trying to work out what Co**** chunks could be for ages!

Haven't used it, but I'm sure somewhere I read of someone baking it and mixing it with beech chips....
