Actually, SoSick, the horse farm is rather large with lots of rolling pastures. Out here in horse country, lime is used routinely on the grazing pastures for soil conditioning. I'm not sure about fertilizer.

And I suppose I wouldn't know whether that alternative ash had been used instead of lime. If memory serves, the supplier who was touting that particular product wasn't doing business in my State. But I'd have to investigate that again -- and I'm too lazy to do that right now. lol!

Did you see the news today about the former head of the FDA in China has been sentenced to death? A couple of weeks ago I read a fabulously detailed article about how the glycerine that was tainted with that anti-freeze came about. I regret not saving the link. It was rather scary reading, I must say.
