hydrated lime

hello folks...just thinkin' a tad (probably a bad idea, or at least my wife thinks so...lol)...on to my thoughts...I use hydrated lime to grow boomers...it keeps the contams away while the myc is colonizing/consolidating the substrate...will this help with my lil' personal garden????


edit to add: I know its late in the year for this season, but there is always next year...if I'm lucky...lol

appreciate any and all info...

it is a bad idea for your plants. good luck dirrtyd

YEahhhh i dont think i really like that idea, i think that maybe you shouldnt risk it using the lime its gotta juices and such that your plant probley doesent want to have inside its body lol

Hydrated lime is calcium hydroxide, a strong base. It'll chew the bejayzus out of roots, soil, cloth pots, hands, pets ... Just plain lime is calcium carbonate. Spend the extra shekel for garden-grade dolomite. pH never a worry, and cal/mag issues say bye-bye. cn

thanks guys...I figured it wasn't a good plan, but its good to get feed-back....)

I suppose I have a lifetime of hydrated lime now...it will be put to good use!!!
