How about just sticking some calcium tablets into the soil? I don't need
25
pounds of lime just for my few pots.

Well I'd guess that the calcium tablets about 6 oz. might cost close
to 25 lb. of dolomite and the lime won't go bad.
Growing with containers looks like small mistakes in the garden are
focused or easier to make. I try to get stuff out of pots and into the
ground then back into a pot if it is a houseplant late fall.


Hmmm ... how much dolomite should I add to a 22 inch pot with 2 cubic feet
of soil? Or does it matter? I mean the plant will take it up as needed.
Can you overdose?
