Questions from a first time grower.

6 years ago

What ratio of garden lime do I add per gallon to the 511 mix? I bought the product below says Garden lime but back of package says Dolomite lime. Will this product work?

Second question after much searchijg I think I found pine fines/mulch. On Home depot website it says Douglas and Ponderosa pine bark but on the bag it just says contains forest product which is very vague. Is the this the right stuff I included a picture.

I usually ad 1 tablespoon per gallon of fresh made 5.1.1 mix. Perfect lime since that is what most use.
