This is my piggies run

As you can see there is absolutely no grass in there :( I really hate the look of it especially as the grounds all cracked and muddy.
Can anyone recommend something I can put in there? I was thinking about bark chippings, are they safe for piggies?
I would love to put turf in there but they would eat all the grass in seconds and it would end up looking the same as it does now :(
 
Only thing i can think of is shutting a little area off at a time and grow the grass. But thats the same as turfing it lol.

I would build a sloped roof to stop it flooding when it rains though. You would only need 4 upright pieces of wood and some waterproof sheet.

But dont get me wrong, this is an awesome run. Is that a little entrance to the shed for them?

Tried shutting off half the run to let the grass grow but it didn't grow, I would need to plant grass seeds but as you said that's pretty much the same as using turf :(

Yes, that is their pig door so they can get into there piggie playhouse :))
