In the Flint area. Where can a guy get a nice large bag of regular dolomite lime? The hydro store closest to home doesn't have large bags, and I haven't been all around town to see who has it. Thanks in advance.

Think i got it at Lowes before. Check out their garden center. Walmart sometimes has 50 lb bags for spring soil amendments too.

A good grow store should have it next to the promix as well . Watch out for the clay/dolomite lime pellets .. They are super slow to break down

Checked my closest home depot today, the guy there showed me what he had....2 diff things -- neither looked like the powdered sugar type stuff I've purchased at nurserys or greenhouses.

Espoma 6.75 lb. Garden Lime

this stuff is brown colored dust.

Description:
Espoma 6.75 lb. Organic garden lime is the finest grade of pelletized, dolomite limestone available. It adjusts soil ph so that your plants are able to benefit as much as possible from the nutrients present. These garden lime granules are fast-acting yet maintain a slow release. A single treatment is good for 4 weeks and may be applied throughout the gardening season.

Soil Doctor 40 lb. Pelletized Lawn Lime


This is grey pellets...tree syrup wtf?

Desc:
Soil Doctor 40 lb. Pelletized Lawn Lime is made of pulverized limestone and a natural tree syrup that are processed together into pellets. The pellets can be quickly and easily applied to your lawn with a rotary or broadcast spreader. Lime corrects acid soil and helps balance soil pH to improve fertilizer efficiency. This 40 lb. bag will cover up to 1,000 sq. ft. of lawn.



What to do? Is the Epsoma stuff decent? Any flintoids know of a better source for a better product?

I like espoma b/c it has cal/mag in it in not too high of concentrations. It's not as fast acting as pennington's lawn lime(lowes) but seems to have a broader range of minerals for plants. I also have to add more of the espoma lime than other brands to ph up my soil
