Nicola H Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Yes it is as long as it is the right kind, look for garden lime ............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 We use the garden lime as well - just sprinkle it around and rake over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 As long as it is garden lime you are using, don't worry if any of them eat some of the lime while you are scattering it round and raking/digging it in - it will just be a bit of extra calcium for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer & Marge Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Dear all, For those of you still unsure of the use of agricultural lime in your Eglu runs, may I suggest you check out this site for a start: http://www.aglime.org.uk/technical18.htm Now all I need to do is find the right translation for the mineral 'Lime' in dutch to see if I can get me some..!
