Hey, Folks..
I've got a couple of plants in soil that look like they're in the beginning of low pH stress. I'll be drenching them tomorrow; I'll meter it then to be sure.
Question is: does anyone have some rules of thumb for using regular commercial lime for potted plants? The directions are based on 1000 sq ft.. a bit large.
I don't want to overdo it.. if pH is low, I suspect I shouldn't have to raise it more than 0.5 to 1.0. The plants are in 10-inch pots.
