Calcium is an element not a nutrient. Comosted wood and nurse logs add
calcium, the element.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Any reason why joint compound can't be worked into the soil to add in
nutrients, like calcium, or as a way to control the ph of the soil? I
have about 3 lbs of the stuff from a previous drywall project and didn't
want to toss it out, when I could toss it on the compost pile or toss it
in the dirt to break down.
