I've used chipped cedar in my kennals before and have been less than impressed with it. I still keep some around because I have a ready supply and it helps cut down on mud. Mu problem with it is that it makes cleanup difficult as the waste can sort of blend in. On the plus side a good deep bed of cedar chips is great fun for a dog that likes to dig. Cedar is supposed to keep fleas away but I didn't notice that it did when I had it in all my kennels.

I would like the idea of big rocks as a base for a.place that has a drainage problem and smaller gravel over top.
