Alright, so, my friend has constructed a greenhouse similar to hippie chick's and his poo is almost ready to case. Now he needs to make a large amount of casing mix. He needs to know if it is ok to use CALCIUM CARBONATE instead of crushed oyster shell and hydrated lyme. I cannot find those. And also maybe somebody could link me to some recipe?

Calcium carbonate,CaCO3, will work fine. That is actually the stuff contained in oyster shell,lime and the such :thumbup:

Good Luck to your friend.

Peace,Love,Happiness and Harmony.

You want a calcium carbonate that has a VERY LOW magnesium content.
You do no want the dolomitic type.
