A neighbor warned me that the "premium compost" I bought from a local composter was likely full of bark fines and likely to run acidic. I responded by using about 1/4 cup of lime for a 12 gallon soil mix.
WRONG !
Plants don't like it and the run-off is about 7.6 pH.
So I re-transplanted the plants into Foxfarm Ocean Forest.
So I have a pile of pots in a spare bathroom, maybe 24 gallons total, 3 cubic feet.
What can I mix into it to repair it & bring down the pH ?
... besides bark fines.
