<P>Cat here, Ok I'm on a roll , my goat got into some quick lime that I bought by mistake, and it near melted his intestines!  I play around with homeopathics and he is alive and well, but quick lime went back to the hardware store and I got the organic lime.  Can Organic lime be used?  Anyone got a recipe, maybe make it up with the vermiculite for the outside of the goat shed?  Is Organic lime poisonous?  Once set well enough to hold water will it leach anything one woulden't want to be swimming in?</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Pozzolans is the technical term for the additive. Rice husk ash is 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>one. BUT I winced when I heard them talking about quicklime.
