Default [IBC] lime deposits on pots -- a report of an experiment

Actually, Jim, you could buy a gallon oc sheap vinegar and put it and some
of those small pots you use in a plastic container, such as you buy for
paint at Home Depot, and just put it in a corner of your garage.

Checking it from time to time would be a LOT simpler than pullig it out of
your compost heap, since you wouldn't have to wash it to see progress (if
any).

In an earlier thread on this subject, a poster mentioned that

letting the
pots soak for a year in his rain water barrel did the trick. I

tried that
last summer, and, after 3 months noticed substantial

improvement.


Oh my! Let's all give three cheers for acid rain.
