Gardener Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi and thanksI don't think I'll need quite that much [:D] is it normally only stocked at agriculture type depots or is it available at garden centres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Does it have to be quicklime CaO as that breaksdown into calcium carbonate CaCo3 can you just use ordinary chaux blanche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardener Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I would prefer not use quicklime (but don't know what that is in French to avoid it); if chaux blanche is more akin to garden lime then that's what I really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
