Caustic Lime Not A Good Absorbent

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

Would air-slackened lime be suitable to sprinkle over the dropping

boards in hen houses?



Gypsum is greatly superior to air-slacked lime for the hen houses, as it

has every beneficial effect of the latter, while the air-slacked lime

will set free much of the fertilizing value of the manure, which the

gypsum will not do.
