#### **Usage**
Left click on [Shavings](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/shavings "Shavings") - specifically the darker colored soiled shavings - while holding the pitchfork to quickly break the item, yielding the soiled shavings to be composted in a [wheelbarrow](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/wheelbarrow). Using a pitchfork is a quicker 1-hit break compared to using other/no tools which requires ~3hits. A pitchfork can also be used on Horse Poop but it offers no additional benefits over using any other or lack of a tool.
**Shown:** An area of shavings showing soiled (darker) and medium-variety shavings.
