lime and substrate
    #21928699 - 07/11/15 12:31 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Is it necessary to add lime to substrate ? What about casing ?

Can I use construction lime (that the builders uses ) ? there is no pickling lime in my country ?

I believe lime is for the casing not substrate.  Not sure about builders lime though.  Also i dont believe its necessary just an optional additive

It's not needed for your substrate
It's optional (to raise pH) in your casing
Builder and pickling like are the same

Lime is generally used in peat based casings to adjust ph.

Could be...  I usually use hydrated (pickling lime) when I do peat casings. You have to be careful not to use too much as it is strong stuff.
