What is the source of Calcium Carbonate? Does it leave a salt residue when
applied to pasture land in conjunction with ACT?

I am contemplating putting 100 lb. per acre of Calcium Carbonate / Dolomite
on my pasture, which is certified Organic by the State of Texas and USDA -
does this endanger my certification?

The resons that I want to apply some calcium are that I just chisled, disce=
d
 and harrowed the ground to prepare to plant Gamma grass, therefore I need
to replenish and reestablish my fungal colonies. Also I am in a heavy clay
soil and it needs to be floculated.

Please comment and suggest.
