crushed coral to control PH?

will crushed coral work in place or oyster shells or lime to keep PH balanced? if so what ratio for poo/wbs ?

To really do any good it needs to be more or less powderized but yes it will work. Remember these coral/oystershell are very water resistant and break down extremely slow so the finer the better bro.

well i think my casing layer ph should be fine for a few flushes. as it gets more acidic, the coral should have broken down enough to begin to counter it. i just have access to free crushed coral, but cant easily get crushed oyster, and i figured theyre both calcium anyway.

any advice on a good way to crush to a powder? also what sort of ratio should i use when i mix with poo and wbs?

Why do you think you need a PH buffer for Poo or WBS?

ahh a hammer! novel idea!

ph buffer is for the verm/peat casing. peat is acidic. i think i may just go straight verm. also i understand that after a few flushes everything gets acidic anyways.
