Just made a casing with garden lime but?
    #5381319 - 03/09/06 01:13 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hey I just used this http://www.yardener.com/GardenLimebyEspoma.html with oyster shells and verm/peat.. is that lime cool? I have it in jars in the pressure cooker right now.. before I put them in the PC the casing had a pH of about 7.. will that change after I take it out of the pressure cooker?

Sorry to say bro but that stuff has too much magnessium (10%). You what 5% at most 0% at best if my memory is correct. I'm 99% sure though.

The elemental Mg. of 10% is too much. I wouldn't try it..

I've often wondered this. We're told to avoid Mg, but since you've already made it, let us know. I think it was in stamet's book to avoid high mag content due to it inhibiting fruiting.

Let it go and see how it works.

Too much magnesium and too much like hydrated lime. You want calcium carbonate lime, not hydrated lime, and you don't want more than a couple percent magnesium in it.

uh oh, I have a bag of horticultural hydrated lime that i have been using for months.
contents:
51% Calcium
72.5 % Calcium Oxide
.045% Magnesium Oxide
131% Calcium Carbonate Equivalent
96% Calcium Hydroxide

Is this the wrong stuff too?!?

No, it's perfect. It matches what I've been using successfully for years.

Hydrated lime works great if you don't go overboard. You certainly cannot follow some blind receipe with it. You just need to know the exact amount YOU need given YOUR peat moss, YOUR coco coir, YOUR vermiculite, and YOUR water. Once you got that, it'll be great. I recommend a pH probe when using it; that's all.

Calcium carbonate is easier. Just dump some in and it'll work.

What does the Magnesium do to the mushrooms that is so bad?
