bought some lime today!

[skiz]

And there are no instructions for how much i should use for my 5 gallon bucket. I was told that I can just sprinkle some on the top of my soil, and water tho... question is i dont know how much i should use?
anyone run across this same problem and have some advice?
thanks

1 tablespoon per gallon of soil

hopefully it's Dolomite

that might be hydrated lime, if it is don't use it!!

Dolomite lime can be found at home depot or lowes.

shit, alright. thanks for the advice fellas!
i did see the dolomite lime, but it was in a huge bag and i didnt need that much so i looked to the closest small bag that said lime on it
