We have been buying a product from Italy for composting and for control of =
ammonia smells in chicken houses which in addition to microlife, contains a=
n "energised" calcium sulphate and an "energised" quartz. It works well bu=
t is very expensive. The suppliers English is poor and it is very difficul=
t to make out what exactly their claim is.

I have seen a couple of references to the use of rockdust from quarries as =
an ingredient in CT. Jose & Tom, I think. Someone referred to its paramag=
netic qualities. My question to the group is what is "rockdust" and what b=
enefit does it give to the CT? Is the energy/magnetism natural or "manufac=
tured"? Where can I read more?

Possibly CT (presumably a different recipe) can be applied in animal husban=
dry applications as well?
