G evening all, Im using ffof and seen somewhere that lime needed to be added when preparing the soil. How much lime per bag or gal and what Kind of lime? Iv seen hydrated lime but read Dolimate(?) lime. THANKS

Dolomite / Agricultural Lime is what you want. 2 cups per bag is sufficient.

Best to put it in earlier than later as it takes a while for it to do its medicine for the plants!

NOT hydrated or 'quick' lime. Hydrated has been treated with chems and quick has been cooked some kind of way.

I've seen hydrated dolomite, so read the label closely!

Garden lime, or Agricultural Lime is also good if you can't find dolomite. They are just from a different type of limestone. Usually much less Mag, but epsom salts takes care of that right quick.
