Ag lime instead of dolomite?
Can I use agricultural lime instead of dolomite lime in my Earthboxes?

From their website:
A note about agricultural lime: Generally, agricultural lime should not be used in the EarthBox® Gardening System because it does not contain enough magnesium. The following brands are suitable for use in the EarthBox: EarthBox® All Natural Dolomite Espoma Garden Lime Whitney Farms Dolomite Lime I used the Espoma Garden Lime in mine, which is a granular dolomite. |
I've used both with equal results in my EB's. Also, bagged AG lime frequently has the Mg content shown on the analysis. Tractor Supply has 40# bags of pelletized Dolomitic Limestone for $3.49 (at least here and online). Given the inexpensive price, I'd buy the Dolomite if you have a source close by. Would I pay big bucks for it -- no!
