Default Pulverized Lime; Amount/Gal

Fairly simple question;

-How much pulverized lime do I add to spagnum peat moss to raise my pH to the desired level?

I did some searching, and found the range of 2 tablespoons per 5 gals, to 1 tablespoon per gallon...

My thought is that the 2 per 5 is when mixed with pro-mix not straight up peat moss, the 1 per 1 might be for the pure moss.

What I have you can buy at Lowes,

8 bales of Premier Sphagnum Peat Moss

Each bale is 3.8 cubic feet~ 107 liters~25 gals

Also a 40 pound bag of pulverized lime

I also have 24 cubic feet of perlite, 4 per bag.


Come on, let me in on what you know so I don't have to keep retesting amounts and checking the runoff...
