Going shopiing, what can I do about this?

I want to do this:

LC’s Soiless Mix #1:
5 parts Canadian Spaghnam Peat or Coir or Pro-Moss
3 parts perlite
2 parts wormcastings or mushroom compost or home made compost
Powdered dolomite lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the soiless mix.
...Check the link in my sig line below for cheap earthworm castings. Free shipping to the eastern USA.

but I can't find any places that sells dolomite lime...

Then I was going to use this:
RECIPE #1
If you want to use organic nutes like blood, bone and kelp...
Dry Ferts:
1 tablespoon blood meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
2 tablespoons bone meal per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of soil mix
1-tablespoon kelp meal per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of soil mix or Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract as directed
1 tablespoon per gallon or 1/2 cup per cubic foot of Jersey Greensand to supplement the K (potasium) in the Kelp Meal and seaweed extract.
Mix all the dry ferts into the soiless mix well and wet it, but don't soak it with Liquid Karma and water @ 1 tbs./gal. Stir and mix it a few times a week for a week or two so the bacteria can get oxygen and break down the bone meal and make it available. And don't let the mix dry out, keep it moist and add water as needed. It'll also have time to get the humic acids in the Liquid Karma going and the dolomite lime will be better able to adjust the pH of a peat based mixture too.

but I can't find any Liquid Karma (without ordering off the internet)


Is there anything an average nursery would carry that I can substitute with?...
The reason I can't find any dolomite lime is because the soil around here is "Already really acidic" so some of the stores "don't carry it because of sales"

Natural-
That's where you use dolomite lime. On acidic soil.
It seems that the hardest thing to find in organic growing is powdered dolomite lime.
Try this. use your local yellow pages to call your area lawn & garden stores, agricultural and farm outlets and upscale nurseries. And make sure you get powdered or pulverized dolomite.
Liquid Karma is one of those "enhancers" that add goodies. But you can do without it. Use black strap molasses and worm casting tea to water with and you'll have everything you need.

home depot carries "garden lime" which is dolimite and calcitic lime, in 50lb bags.

good stuff, just wish they sold it in smaller bags...this bag is going to last me about 10 years.

edit: just read what you said about the native soil...might be a region-specific thing, but if you haven't checked home depot yet, go there.
