How does this 50/50+ mix sound?
    #5811548 - 07/02/06 02:42 AM (17 years, 6 months ago)

Starting with canadian peat moss with a ph of 4.5-5

10 qts of sifted peat moss
3 tsp Hoffmans hydrated lime
1 cup powdered oyster shell
4&1/2 cups chunky oyster
1 cup limestone flour
3 cups gypsum

texture and moisture content are really nice. It looks great. It's maxing out the ph meter right now. Is it going to fall in the next few days to around 8 or so? Was all the lime and calc too much?

That seems a bit high on the gypsum, but still should work ok. I assume you're going to mix all that 50-50 with verm? As long as the ph drops into the 8's, you'll be ok.

oh yes, verm of course, but it's the rest of the mix I'm talking about.

RR, I read 5-10 percent gypsum by volume of peat, so 10 qts being 40 cups, 3 cups gypsum would be 7.5 percent correct?
