lime question, brand specific
    #4908571 - 11/08/05 10:06 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I have a bag of NutraLime Pelletized Limestone. It is full of pellets of limestone that are about a mm in diameter. On the bag it says a few things like "Non-burning," "Nutralized acidic soil FAST," and "Contains calcium and magnesium." On the back of the bag, in the ingredients, it says that the amount of magnesium is < 1%. If I use a coffe grinder to grind this into powder is it suitable to mix into my 60%/40% coco coir/vermiculite casing mixture? And how much should I use?

It still isn't water soluable. It will take weeks to months to break down. By then, your substrate or casing will be either finished or green. You want a water soluable lime such as hydrated lime. You can order it online from www.doitbest.com Just do a search for 'hydrated lime' once you get to the site. Order the 'good earth' or 'hoffman's'. They're both made by the same company. Avoid the dolomitic or concrete stuff.
