As long as it's high calcium (Mg content under 3 percent), snatch that puppy.

It's probably only 5-6 bucks. I'd try to keep it all, but if you don't have space or whatever, take what you need and find a dumpster for the rest.

I doubt seriously wal mart would have the correct lime. You want calcium carbonate or hydrated lime, but not dolomitic or pelletized lime. If it says 'safer than hydrated lime' anywhere on the package, it's the wrong kind.

i looked at the back and it said it had 94%(i think) calcium carbonate. sure i have room for it, i just dont want such a big ass bag. and throwing it away would bug the shit out of me...i just couldnt do it...to much of a waste. they had 40lb bags of the pellet shit but i just ignored it cuz its not the right kind.

Came from the earth, let it return to the earth. No waste, the earth needs that limestone :tongue: Besides, you buy a smaller ammount online, you pay shipping, you come out bad. Think of it as you doing your part to raise the PH of your local landfill. :wink:

Besides that, you've got room, keep it around... you might end up using it all, you never know. Be a shame to have to buy some again after throwing some out.:grin:

to me throwing it away is out of the question. sure i can keep it around, but its enough for 5000 square foot. it would take so long to get rid of it considering id only be using a spooful at a time. i was just wondering if anyone knows if smaller bags (25-10lbs) can be acquired locally.

eBay is great

Why the aversion to online ordering?

If you truly have calcium carbonate don't throw it away. Calcium carbonate is used in much larger quantities than hydrated lime. Depending on the size of your substrate recipe, you can easily use 4-6 cups in a single swoop. Again, it all depends on your substrate quantity.

I use gypsum now and probably go through about 50-60 pounds a year. I was probably using the same quantity when I was using the CalCa.

well the containers ill be using for casing are 2 cubic ft.(10x7.5x4) and ill be spawning rye to coir/coffee and casing with MGMC. when i can afford to get rid of my roomies ill start making trips into the cow field for poo. anyways, i dont see the coir/coffee needing more than a couple spoonfuls per brick of coir, and at that rate ill be sittin on a shitload of lime for quite a while. seeing as how im hungry im gonna head to town and check lowes and grab a bite to eat.

my aversion to ordering online is thus: the last few things ive had shipped wouldnt fit in the PO Box so i had to pick it up from the lady behind the counter. ever since i ordered some spores, she keeps sayin she cant find the package but some1 is looking and in the mean time a cop always shows up and stands in the lobby just dickin around doin nothing. then after he gets there then she convenietly finds my box and hands it over. the second time this happened i went down the road to a pizza place and watched for the cop and sure enough i seen him coming down the road less than a minute later, and he slowed down to about 15 in a 45 mph zone and stared at my truck as he drove by. now i dont consider myself a paranoid person but this is really buggin the shit out of me. the local cops act like damn nazis, and its a small town so they pretty much do what they want. damn pigs.

Security first. Amen brother. Paranoia might be the cause, but the result is awareness, which is never a bad thing.

(just don't go overboard :wink: )

How about going to Walmart and finding the bag that 'has a hole in it' and just put some of the spilled lime into a plastic baggie. They would just sweep it up and throw it away anyways.

after wlking through the entire lwan and garden section at lowes, the last aisle i came to had the lime...and its fuckin raining so i got really wet:mad2:  i decided to just break down and buy a big ass bag. lowes had a 40lb bag, which is a little smaller so im not to upset over it.  oh well.

i thought about just takin some in a plastic baggie, but ever since i got busted for theft i havnt stolen anything and im tryin to keep it that way.  jail sux, even if it is a minimum security joint.

Hey I got the same 40 # bag from Lowes, and yes it'll take forever to use it, but at least you have it.

As for me, mine gives me no problems:

1). I don't have to feed it.

2). It never asks for anything.

3). I can use it any way I want, and it'll never complain, much less call the cops!

time for pics i guess:


^^^anyone have any ideas on if this will be accurate enough?


^^^heres the bag i ended up getting, notice it says pulverized (funny word hehe)...its almost a powder


^^^heres the specifics

my question now is thus: i just saw a pic of the stuff RR uses (pic below) and its CCE is 126%(mine is 94) does this just mean his requires less lime to get the same change in pH? also his lists calcium hydroxide and magnesium oxide, whereas mine lists neither. are these necessary compunds or is the stuff i got fine?

heres RR's:
