I used wood shavings for many long years because we
could afford little else, We still use it because it keeps animals drier than
straw in combination with other materials like straw. The last small local
sawmill who gave it away for the taking closed it's doors two months ago so we
set up a system to go making our own. Rice hulls are supposedly superb to make
clay more gardener friendly but no rice is grown here and thus we have no chance
of getting the hulls.
Shavings made beautiful soil for us on top of
rock and I suppose it would do the same on clay as long as you keep it on the
surface and never dig it in.
