... BrixTalk@yahoogroups.com, " Thomas Giannou" ... growing in containers of some sort. I didn't see anything about calcium or phosphate additions. Are those...
My Ca sources, bone meal and rock phosphate, are also high in P. Should I raise the N to match the P, for vegetative (kale, parsley, sprouts) growth? Darren...
You probably need an additional source of calcium as carbonate - as in lime, oyster shell, etc. The phosphate may not be very available as you need plenty of...
Kris, I didnt use lime, because I thought the Mg (28%) in the lime would be too high in relation to its Ca (46%), and make the Ca unavailable to the plant (?)....
Thomas, Correction: I have dolomite. Not lime. I need to get high-calcium lime. I'll look into Kris' suggestion of calcium carbonate. Thank you both, Darren ...
The problem is that dolomitic lime seems to be what is most commonly available. I haven't found high calcium lime locally here in Toledo, though I did get...

Who grows rhubarb? what are you geting for the Brix? I got a 3 for the Brix. and a 2.95pH. That is a long way from Bruce Tainio's magic number of 6.4 pH. My...
Dave, ... My rhubarb is growing wild (about 3 miles away). Maybe I'll remember to check it for you next time I'm over there. What part are you testing, leaf or...
