Default Where to buy Calcium Carbonate?

BV,

It is common garden lime. Not the hydrated white lime, but will say
limestone. Dolomitic lime has dolomite in it which is calcium magnesium
carbonate. I would look for the calcitic limestone. I think the bags

have
calcium carbonate equivalents printed on the bag. Look for one close to
100% if you can find it.



The one thing I have not been able to find is an amount. A few of the
articles I read, talked amounts applied per acre of water. I don't have
nearly that much surface area. Is there an easier method for measurement?

BV.
