good article @Waira.
I don't think I will be using hydrated lime with peat again; caused me too many probs with one strain in particular (auto white widow-but curiously no problems with some others-Tutankhamon, Dr.Feelgood).
I have been saving eggshells for a while now; every time I crack open a raw egg (free-range of course) I rinse out the shell and leave it to dry. I have half a bucketful in only 3 months. a quick crunch up and then into a coffee grinder and I have powder in seconds. I will have to add it cautiously, as its an unknown to me with respect to its pH raising qualities.

Oldbie, what's good brudda? I'm glad you found them here in this quiet backwater ... I've used H-lime to fix badly acidic Fuxfarms soil, which still sucked in the end,.. not cooked enough-- typical of them these days! I also used a water only solution too help get a wildly dropping pot get back on track,... it works, but one must be rather careful with it!
