dwh Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Building lime THATS WHAT WE USE BIT DUSTY AND THINK IT DRYS THE FEATHERING OUT IF YOU USE IT TO MUCH
bluey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I used slaked lime many years ago. Cannot find it now so use Harkers loft dressing very sparingly. Not sure if slaked lime is same as builders lime but have not been able to find either in garden centres or builders merchants in my area.
Diamond dave Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 Yeh Taylors choice are cheap but the postage puts it over the top - could I use ordinary flour with somne vim or something in it - after all I usually sweep it out so it dont leave it dusty. I've got perspex sheets on my roof and get a little condensation that drips down on the floor, specially when its foggy. Praps I could even nick a bit of her talc. - I could have the only gay widowhood cocks in the village..... D.D
BLACK W F Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 use garden lime you will get it from any garden centre
ribble Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Who uses loft white? Also does it help keep the humidity down?

Guest joshdonlan Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I use it, but dont think it does much. :-/
bluey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 use garden lime you will get it from any garden centre This type of lime is no good, it is in granular form and does not soak up moisture. The type of lime needed should be the same consistency of flour/icing sugar ie; powdery and light to absorb moisture and easily swept up with a brush.
OLDYELLOW Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 Who uses loft white? Also does it help keep the humidity down? i use it but only as a floor dressing it helps dry moisture in droppings quicker , humidty would only be effected if heated loft and adjusted air flow
pjc Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 think the stuff i got is called limestone flour got it from a farm feed store about £6 for 20/ 25 kg Thats what we used to use but havn't seen it for years!
greenlands Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I believe limestone flour is a calcium suppliment fed to brood mares. Lindsay
pjc Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 It would be safe in my kitchen, the wifes forgotten where it is! ;D ;D ;D
Guest IB Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 You'll find Loft White / Parc Blanco? is limestone flour. Its garden / agricultural lime, natural & harmless to the birds, unlike hot lime / slaked lime, which can burn the birds eyes. Apply sparingly and brush it in as it tends to blow about.

Guest Taylors Choice Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 Our delivery charges will soon be changing to help bring costs down on smaller orders and to give customers the opportunity of free delivery if they order over a certain value at different weights. It's quite complicated but once it's done you will see what I mean
