I wasn't able to locate chicken grit (even though I live in a rural area)because
the supply houses have to buy truck loads of it.  They did sell me a fine calcium
almost-powder substance that is used instead of egg shells to aid the chickens'
digestion.  Does anyone know if the calcium could hurt the seedlings?
Thanks- Sheryl in Western CO
