Default Dolomite lime- same as CalMag?
So I bought some Espoma dolomite lime and it is made of magnesium and calcium. Can this replace CalMag and Epsom salt?

I am only using it to add a little calcium and magnesium and keep the soil balanced. Any recommendations on how much to use per gallon water just to boost the soil quality a little?

Thanks.

Ok, so does anyone know how long it takes for dolomite added by watering to start helping correct ph and add magnesium and calcium to a plant?

Also, do the symptoms of mag/cal deficiency disappear or just stop progressing when it's working?

Thanks.

i use dolmite lime in my soil it works right away first feeding,but you still have to ph your feedings,i dont know about your stuff because depending on what nutes you are useing they have alot of cal/mag in them usually enough to keep your plant healthy.

Should I ph the water before or after I add the dolomite or is that not necessary because it's a ph balancer?

Thanks.
