I use 1 tsp per gallon of soil. Doesn't FF already have some lime in it?

Heh.. I toss in a small handful for 3 gallons and never worry about it.

Too much of course is a bad thing in 'theory' ....but in truth the plant will be chopped long before 'too much' lime would become an issue...

Sprinkle it on top of the soil if already potted. If mixing soil just throw it in.
