overly alkaline casing. problem?
    #7898440 - 01/18/08 05:47 PM (16 years, 14 days ago)

i just made up some casing material and did the standard additive ratios.

1 tsp lime
1 tbs gypsum per cup of dry peat

i tested the soil and it looks to be over 8 for sure

*it is one of those crappy ph test kits though where you add a little soil some crap in a pill and a little water and shake it and compare the color to some chart.


will this still be okay?

what sort of problem will this pose? and how could i fix it if it is a problem?

thanks a million guys

if its the casing, not the substrate you have nothing to worry about it is fine.
if it is the substrate then it might take a little longer to colonize thats all no big woop.

8.5 is still good. It will naturally begin to drop after a few hours.
