This is Turtle.

I used Blown in Celulose on top of 6" fiber glass batts and I found it to be the 
biggest mistake of my life. Before I did this I had to dust about once a month 
or longer and now I have to dust just about every 3 to 5 days. Before my air 
cond. filter would plug up about every 2 months or longer. Now it plugs up just 
about every week or two. The stuff that gets into the house is a gray fiber that 
looks just like the the blown in fiber of the cellulose used in the attic.

So i would say use anything but this stuff.
