LOL
Are we discussing "Grits" ?
My wife loves grits for breakfast in the morning.
From what I understand, it's ground up corn.
Not sure I'd like to put it on my trees.

Cracked Corn is never "grit." Birds have no teeth so their food is prepared
for digestion in with bits of stone or "grit" to grind the food. To survive
birds (chickens) must contantly ingest this grinding material along with
their food. In some areas it is crushed oyster shell and in others it is
granite. I have even seen Turface sold as grit, but I wouldn't use it with
my chickens as I don't think it would be hard enough. BTW, a link between
bids and dinosaurs is this need for grinding and a artifact frequentny found
with dinosaur bones is a small pile of stones.
Cracked corn is food.

Apparently crushed granite is only used for chicken
grit north of the
Mason-Dixon Line. If you will be at the World Bonsai
Convention, my offer still
stands.

....but not west of the Sierras where it is cracked
corn.
