Re: Companion Plants for Roses

I have the typical Mediterranean Central Coast adobe which dries hard enough to build buildings out of it. Gypsum was recommended to me years ago and I do not use it. It is a quite insoluble salt called Calcium sulfate. It is my understanding that it works well for a time but gradually accumulates as a plaster shelf several feet down and the only remedy then is to dig it out. It probably appears to work well for those Californians that move every five years. But lord help the inheritor of the problem.
Again, this is not my personal experience, it is what I read somewhere many, many years ago! It makes some sense to me though.

As for the gypsum, I am not so sure. It's possible that it does not help
much or at all.
