Not quite. Calcium carbonate or even hydrated lime are a far cry from baking soda, which is a salt.

Your water doesn't need adjusting, but the peat in your casing layer does. Just get the proper lime.

sodium bicarbonate is a far cry from calcium hydroxide
one hardens water one buffers ph
lime is a better choice but i wasn't recomending any of it
i don't use any off it and have great sucess
but as an expirament buffer will be better in a casing than a ph adjuster because the ph starts dropping only the buffer will help
lime is also nasty stuff to keep around the house

He said, "A" salt, not table salt.
