Need help with casing mixture.
    #7573602 - 10/29/07 04:43 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I'm using coco coir and verm in a 40/60 mix but all I could find for a buffer is Hi-Yield horticultural hydrated lime. How much lime do I add to the mix?

You would need a PH meter to test the mix.

A teaspoon of hydrated lime per cup of peat or coir seems to put you right around neutral. Use up to 10% by volume of gypsum for an extra boost.
