Oh I wish I could have been there. That is priceless Clint. Best laugh I had today.

Isn't he wonderful Marilyn? What fun he would be to go plant shopping with.

Clint that's hilarious! I totally had a similar experience, being shy to say its for plants, but then when he started asking questions I came clean so he'd get me the right size! Thanks for the great story! I think you need to go back and let them know - it'll make their day!

That's priceless Clint! I love your response that your chicks are 2-3" wide! I bet they're telling their friends about the crazy guy that came in to buy chicken grit. Our feedmill thought I was more than a little strange for using it for plants too.

I literally have tears in my eyes I'm going to be laughing about this all afternoon!!!

At least the feed mill I get mine from already knws me as the crazy plant lady

Shy about loving plants?

So funny! My feed store thought me a little strange too.

I'm so strange I don't even notice what they might think. Right over my head.

Me too Lynn, lately anyway!! I bought mine in an upscale Seattle chicken store - very pricey and urban! So I don't think I was the first person to use this for plants, he began asking about chickens but could tell by my expression that I didn't have a clue - so he asks "are you gardening with this?"
So funny that we've all had similar experiences! Oh the humiliation we go through for our lovely semps!

I get stone dust from a gravel pit. Luckily the machine operator that hauls it for me already knew I was nuts.I gave up on the chick grit when I started needing a lot. Now I add the rock crusher dust to my planting mix and add it to my gardens.

I know they love that! its so rich in minerals!

Yes me too! Now I've been keeping an eye out for long skinny rocks that I could lay side by side (one in front of the other) and plant along them!
