Barn Lime

Post by IMALOSERSCUMBAG »

Any thoughts on using Barn Lime to adjust PH? Specifically Waukesha brand? Right now I use pickling lime (calcium hydroxide). Barn lime is crushed limestone which is calcium carbonate. I don't believe there are any additives in the Waukesha barn lime so it should be only ground limestone.

Now, back in my youth I worked with this often on the farm. I guess a little reminiscing this past weekend got my What if's going. This stuff is pretty finely ground so it should move the ph and not be just a buffer. My thought is that a little could go a long way. Am I thinking correctly, or just nuts?
