You just place soil on the bottem and pust it down then put the stag decay wood in and cover with more soil this will keep it moist and may help the female lay in it but stag breeding wood is best.
Make sure its damp so they don't dry out and don't keep the male with the female all the time so she can have a rest and lay her eggs. Check the eggs/larvae after 4-8 weeks so she don't kill the larvae to lay more eggs, Then repeat the same process.
