Sorry to post this question.... I know it has been addressed, but I cannot find the posts!!
I know to use food grade DE.... and I plan to sprinkle it on my pine shavings in the coop and do the deep litter
method (I think I will like it... but everything is new and experitmental for us!). I recall someone stating that some form
or lime was as effective against flies, mites, odor and dampness.... and cheaper... but what type of lime? Is it really as effective
as the DE?
Thanks, and is there a really good, (thorough) way to search the forum for topics?? Like a word search feature? ~Ally
As always, feel free to watch our chicken brooder-cam! I am still unsure about the sex of my babies.... so any opinions are welcome!!
