I only use the pellets - there's still dust, but it generally just 
sifts down to the bottom of the bag (or in my case, the garbage can I 
use for storage).  I soak my pellets overnight but I'm mixing them 
with Bermuda/Alfalfa blend pellets.  Soaked beet pulp pellets do tend 
to get mushy, but mixed with the other pellets, the whole soaked pile 
doesn't get so mushy.

If you want to feed straight beet pulp pellets, then soak them in 
warm water for a shorter time - maybe half hour, 45 minutes.  Also, 
only put just enough water in to cover the pellets - any more and 
you'll encourage the mushiness.
