"chicken grit. It comes in 3 or 4 sizes, it says decomposed on the label I think, "

Crushed granite chicken grit is not decomposed granite. It is crushed granite straight out of a quarry, at least here on the East Coast. "Granni-Grit" is the name brand of the stuff that's carried by feed stores. Comes in several sizes. The two that bonsaiist use are "grower" and "starter," with grower being the coarsest and almost too big to use. Starter grit is better.

Neither needs to be sifted.
