Hello guys iv bewn getting Cal Deficiencies on my plants lately and since i dont have any dolomite lime in my house nor can i afford to get right now..
Id like some tips of things i can make at home, iv already found a recipe to make a foliar feed bu mixing lemon juice and eggshells, but i was gonna use citric acid instead.. but i dont know the ratios then so id have to experiment if somebody here does not have a better idea ? Thanks alot guys !!

eggshells must be first roasted/cooked before added to the vinegar. that's why you saw no fizzing. look up soluble calcium KNF on youtube you'll find many great tutorials

I didnt cook them but i did dry them in the air for a few days before adding them to the citric acid solution, it took about 10 seconds then it was fizzing for a few hours and after 48 hours the eggshells was sloppy and the solution almost as white as milk, so it did work. And the eggshells that was left i added to the plants soil
