It’s used in a lot of fertilizers. Miracle grow being one of them since it’s a time release compound.

It seems to be the prime component of many deer blocks, like deer Cocaine. Makes big antlers. I saw it in 50lb sacks at the feed store sold as a dairy cow nutritional supplement feed additive. Hmmm time released cacium in cheap 12 dollar sacks.

Just wonder if the deer gonna dig it up! Lol!
