Casing mix issue, Lawn lime
    #9082921 - 10/15/08 06:30 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I created a casing mix with 50/50 peat/verm and then gave a generous amount of lawn lime (thinking that it would help out in the place of hydrated lime) however after the fact of doing this I researched and found RR telling us that that lawn lime isn't going to work. my question is if all this casing mix is useless, or can I just find some hydrated lime and add it in as not to waste it? Thanks guys

You probably used a lime with magnesium in it.  Magnesium is toxic to fungi.  Adding hydrated lime will not remove the magnesium and therefor the casing mix is useless.  I think just about everyone has made the mistake of picking up dolomitic lime.
