Go to a local nursery, or garden supply store.. If not on-line, just be ready to pay for the weight in terms of shipping...

Old school type hardware store- with a lawn section...

Worst case scenario, you order it from wormsway.com

I understand even the guano company Sunleaves sells it by the 5 pound bag- which will do ya for anything less than a monster grow...

Good luck, and you are taking a firm step in the right direction with pulverized dolomitic lime!

This is A+, Grade A advice. Everywhere on thie planet has one. I had a hard time finding it but when I did find it, it was at Ace Hardware. When you do find it, it's easy to buy a shitload (years worth) at one time. I think I paid two or three bucks for 50lbs. Flour grade is the grail but pelletized will work with planning and a grinder of some sort. Ordering from the internet seems too much. twenty bucks for shipping on a five dollar item?

Thanks for the back-up Swamp...

I made the mistake of using pelletized DLime, and my Love Potion #2s suffered mightily... I'm sure Burn1 is tired of answering this question and a Pulverized Dolomitic Lime sticky should be in the works...

The problems with Pellets:

Pelletized doesn't break down until 3 months later.
Pelletized has varied sieve sizes and doesn't suppy a steady pH or cal/mag availability.
Pelletized is a bitch to pulverize and/or grind-- it's like pounding rocks-- been there done that paid the price...

Pulverized Dolomitic Lime is as fine as flour. It's a white powder. It distributes well in the chosen medium and will stabilize the pH throughout- not create little pockets of lime...

I'm going to go as far as to say that Pulverized Dolomitic Lime is THE most important additive you can get for growing good mj, a huge sack is 5 bucks, it's commonly available to those who look in the right places, it can be ordered from wormsway.com, and it is a lawn/garden additive therefore no paranoia necessary... I get two bags and throw one all over the place...

That's advice to all noobs-- Brother Bear your buds look fine and you do east coasters proud with that gear...

South California:
Green Thumb Nursery,
Armstrong Nursery,
They may need to re-stock soon though, I just bought a 2 year supply of 5lb boxes. I'm tired of running out, very few nursery pros even think it has any use, "our soil is alkaline already". What, like they don't sell potting soil that's mostly peat or even more acidic, lumber industry compost. I use dolo for my alysum and my watermelon and everything in between.
When I ask some nurseries if they have dolo-lime it's like I'm asking to buy an AK-47.
