Hey,
So I posted before about being unable to purchase any chick grit here. Still cant find any but preparing to let the little ducklings (two weeks old) out to forage in the garden. I don't have any sand out there (I know there is a risk of causing serious issues such as compaction) and suddently thought about if I should exclude them from certain areas.
I have this on top of my soil on my new plants:
would this cause the same issues as play sand if they have access to it, or is it actually quite similar to the chick grit you can purchase? Can anyone show me a picture of chick grit or describe the stone sizes? This says 1-3mm.
"Hasselfors Cultivation Sand, weight and structure are added to your soil. Is suitable for growing seeds and cuttings and is used to avoid grief mosquitoes or moss formation, prevent water evaporation and improve the microclimate. Mix in your soil if you want to improve drainage.
Specification: Natural sand 1-3 mm
English name: Horticultural grit
Qualities: Sifted Swedish natural sand"
