I never want to go threw what I just did again ever. It cost me thousands of dollars . I want my self and others to give input into this. There are a few ways to bring soil pH up . There is good bad and don't do that. What I see a lot of lime takes 3 months or more to stabilize The pH let's say to 6.5. I never herd that .it was always cook your soil 3-4 weeks and add your lime 1-2 table spoons per gallon mix and you got it.well sometimes it goes like that. Kinda hard to pile up soil for 3 months . It seems dolomite has it all cal. Mag. Its already 7.0 but it takes months for it to work.oystet shell months. It would seem they would be great buffers. So now we are down to what powder garden lime .faster acting yes but how much to add. If you know the pH of your peat is 4.5 how much to add per gallon of peat? If you go high dollar pro-mix that's 6.5 I would think dolomite and gypsum would be the way to go. Now let's say pH is 4.5 and you have your buffers in there dolomite . Oyster shell . and the garden lime to bring it up faster .and it gets you to that pH you need . Can you ever end up adding to much cal. To your soil and getting lock out ? With organics they say never pH your bottled plant food . I get that. But you really need the soil pH right to stay away from lock outs even in organics don't you ? Because I just saw a lot of lock out because of low pH and it was not fun to look at or have happen. Please any one with good info please add on .
