Re: Calcium
Bob-
another source of Ca is Calcium Chelate
not sure how it will affect your PH-
but it is a quick Ca boost.

search for "Liquid Calcium"
1 gal $7 plus shipping
2 1/2 gal $16 plus shipping
here is the fact sheet from the web site-
Liquid Calcium Chelate 12% Fertall:
Chelates are a potent source of trace minerals,
specially processed (chelated) to be readily available
and quickly absorbed by plants. Chelates are most
frequently used as foliars to provide a short-term,
quick fix for mineral deficiencies affecting plant
metabolism, fruit set, etc. in existing crops. The
Fertall brand products listed below come in liquid
form, for easy application. They are not chelated with
the highly synthetic EDTA, unacceptable to most
certifying agencies, but with lignosulfonates, which
are wood processing derivatives. the Calcium
chelate is derived from citric acid and calcium
chloride. Check with your organic certifying agency.
Drums FOB Gardena CA. F1740,
Useful in preventing blossom end rot and effects of
low
soil pH in existing crops. Apply at 1-12 qt/acre,
depending on crop and calcium levels in the soil.
Homescale growers use 1-2 Tbs/gal. Derived from
citric acid and calcium chloride.

Is there any other means to get Calcium into the soil
besides Gypsum and

Bob.
