| I went up to the Auto Parts store looking for oil-dry. They had what they called Fullers Earth Clay (what was on the bag) and of course said it was the same thing? Is anyone familiar with this product? Is it similar/close enough to oil dry/turface to use in the gritty mix?
Also, for my horses, i have a bedding product that is 1/4 inch pine nuggets. They do break down when wet to about 1/8th to 1/16 shreds. Is this fine enough to cause compaction in the mix? Crushed gravel seems to be the only thing I have been able to locate exactly. Thanks! |

| Fuller's earth is not suitable for use in the gritty mix because of it's extremely fine texture and its very high aluminum content. Don't use pelletized bark. You should be able to find either Gran-I-Grit (grower size) or #2 cherrystone at rural feed stores. If I knew where you lived, I'd try to help you with the Turface. Al |
