Helen&Lee Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I went to Homebase at the weekend to buy Garden Lime to sprinkle down in the run but couldn't find any. Does anyone know were I can get it from normally? Thanks, Helen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Most hardware stores or garden centres should stock it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 B&Q sell it. I often get it from a local garden centre too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 silly question but what do you use it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Freshening up the ground that the hens have ranged on. It restores the PH to what it should be and kills pongs beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 its' on my list. can I just ask, is it ok to just sprinkle it on top of the bare earth, or does it need to be covered/raked in somehow? my eglus are in permanent positions now, so all the grass has gone and its just bare earth in the big girls' one and will be eventually in the babies'. quite happy with that, and they seem fine with it.

The Dogmother Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just clear the Aubiose into the compost, sprinkle the lime on then put clean Aubiose down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 what if you dont use aubiose or hemcore? coz my girls only sleep in their eglu and freerange from dawn to dusk, I havent got into any of that. (no objection to it, it just seems like 'another thing' and I dont seem to need it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It's fine on bare earth too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
