LIME

[SULCY]

Does anyone add lime to their grass to up the calcium level. Just wondering if this may be a good way of getting more calcium into their food.

 

[Yvonne G]

Nope - calcium powder from a jar works just fine for me, thank you very much!

 

[Yvonne G]

Oh wait. . . are you talking about grass growing in the yard? I've added oyster shell to newly seeded grass yard, and incorporated it into the soil with the seeds, hoping that will up the calcium level in the soil for the plants to absorb. Don't know if it works or not, but made me feel better about it.

 

[Yvonne G]

LOL! When you said 'lime' I thought you were talking about the fruit, not the additive. Here in Central California our ground is so hard we use gypsum. Lime would work too. A couple years ago when I planted a tortoise greens garden I added lime to the soil along with the oyster shell.

 

[SULCY]

Yes that is what I was thinking of using the gypsum lime as long as it can't hurt I was thinking of adding it to the soil for the grass.

I scatter crushed egg shells in the enclosure. Better than throwing them away.
