The MSDS states NOT to breath it in over a prolonged period of time. What do you people think the animals will breath? Magical air from the air fairies?
Also, it's been noted that most things claimed to be organic are NOT necessarily organic. I am not stating that it is FOR SURE true with the product in question but it certainly does deem more research into those type of laws for "organic" soils and garden supplies.
So no reason to jump all over Maggot since she gave what was only her opinion and thoughts.

No, there was no evidence given. The MSDS states for humans not to breathe silica dust over time. ALL clay contains silica, every bit of it on the globe. So this evidence is not evidence after all when someone actually looks closer into it. Given this 'evidence' we shouldnt use any soil with clay in it ever, and animals all over the globe that live in burrows should really be in trouble.
The degree to what things are organic or not has little bearing on the discussion. Who cares? The ingredients are listed for this product and none of them are problematic. It might be one thing if the OP was using nothing but this as substrate, but as stated many times, they are just using a bit mixed with the soil. What difference does it make if the USDA lists it as organic? None.
The reason I commented on this to Maggot is because she seems to have no experience or research in these things that she commonly states 'definitively' are true to others, then jumps down their throats for it. I think she should stop trying to give advice about things she knows so little about, and especially stop stating that she is somehow able to distinguish truth, fact, or evidence, when she has no frame of reference with which to do so. As in this case, so should you, Aaron.
