D.E. vs Zeolite

[JLoner]

We have decided to use construction sand in our coop this time around. Should I still add in some DE or Zeolite and mix it in with the sand?

Has anyone used Zeolite before? I'd never heard of it.. I used DE last time around.

Thanks!

Go with the zeolite, not DE. DE isn't really going to help. Zeolite is a mineral that absorbs odor. I will be using a 1:4 ratio of zeolite (Sweet PDZ) to washed sand for my poop boards.

What sand do you use?

I ditched the sand and use straight PDZ. The sand was really dusty.

I use zeolite granules for my farm. no powder. zeolite is able to adsorb ammonium at bedding barn

PDZ is zeolite.
