Best Answer

Hydrated lime. It has been used for hundreds of years to deoderize everything from human wastes to animal wastes to decaying bodies. Calcium carbonate is simply ground up limestone, and although it is great for raising the pH of your yard or garden it doesn't do much to eliminate smells. Hydrated lime also has the advantage of being a dessicant (it absorbs moisture). M. Miller, Lime Specialist, U.S. Geological Survey
