More than deep bedding
L.O.G.S. stands for Living Organic Ground Systems. It is a designed, activated ground system for suitable animal areas—not simply a deeper bedding layer.
The deep timber, woodchip, mineral and soil layers are essential, but they are the habitat. They create the protected, carbon-rich environment: air spaces below the animals, room for moisture to move, a range of material sizes from fine woodchips to large timber, and a stable living zone below the surface.
The activation is the difference
During construction, L.O.G.S. introduces selected biological inputs throughout the layers. This activation is the critical part of the system. It establishes the conditions for microbial and fungal activity—including the development of mycelial networks—to become active within the carbon-rich ground.
In other words: the deep build creates a place where life can work. The L.O.G.S. activation starts that living process. As the system matures, it is designed to become a rich working environment that can receive manure, urine and moisture below the animals rather than leaving them to accumulate on top.

A living ground system
Urine is held and spread through the carbon-rich lower layers instead of concentrating in one shallow, saturated surface. Manure enters an active working zone where carbon material, air, moisture and biological activity meet. Over time, this supports the gradual processing of organic material and the formation of richer ground beneath the animals.
That is why L.O.G.S. is not a surface spray, nor a product poured onto an existing problem. It is a complete system: a deep physical environment, followed by a purposeful biological activation, designed around the animals, their use of the space, water, shelter, drainage and daily management.
L.O.G.S. may be considered for assessed goat and sheep enclosures, protected pig sleeping areas, poultry shelters, rabbit hutches, mixed-animal spaces, educational centres, petting farms and selected breeding or holding pens.
