My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Liming process in 5-1-1

15 years ago

I hear you need to wait 2 weeks for the lime to effect the PH of one's 5-1-1 mix. Is there a way to speed this process? Like grinding up the lime or something?

I am using EB Stone Agricultural Dolomite Lime and Redwood compost for the mix. And sphagnum peat.

Thanks! I have plants ready to go in containers and the weather to support them, now I just need to make sure of how long I need to wait on the mix.
