I read so much my head spinning. Looking to find a good lime to use that will activate around a month after being planted? the ffof has some and a few other things, but I run into ph issues after a month and a half to 2 months. so anything that will activate at that point, how much should i add and when should i set them out there ?
Which lime to use?
- Thread starter toomp
- Start date
1st month the ffof is activated and being used and will run out. I want something that will run me threw the season

pasta:
Aglime can be almost all CaCO3, or it could be roughly the same Ca:Mg ratio that's in prilled garden lime. Prilled lime has lignosulfonate binders to hold the prills together and usually has somewhere around a 2-4:1 Ca:Mg ratio, which is desirable.
The size of the lime particles (along with temperature and soil moisture content) is what determines how fast it works. Prilled limestone is essentially powdered limestone in prilled form, so one would work about as fast as the other - no distinct advantage.
