Raising chickens stinks.......literally!!!!

Carrie Gildersleeve:
If you don't want to use lime you could use food grade diatomaceous earth. It is my understanding that it does not affect ph levels.

Fyremare:
I have begun to test Sweet PDZ, which is a stall drier derived from volcanic rock. It has helped even in the outdoor areas this year with smell.Comes in powder or granulated form. We've had a really wet summer. Not sure if it would change PH or not.
It's supposed to transmute the amonia into available nitrogen. I will be putting the soiled bedding in the flower beds and see what happens. So far so good.
I still use some food grade DE, it can do some things that the PDZ can't IMO.
