wonderful - thanks for the reference.


Another possibility, which might be more convenient for some people,
is to dissolve builders' (slaked) lime in a watering can with the
cheapest possible vinegar (COLD) and water it on. That would
certainly be the fastest acting way of remedying lime deficiency.

Does lime deficiency = calcium deficiency? Or is there a pH issue as well?

If you are just trying to add "neutralised" lime, could you do the same
thing with gypsum?
