Dr. Elaine, I understand that you have been doing some tests with
calcium and, was it dandelions?
Maybe it was just calcium in compost as you talked about in our seminar. But anyway, I want to do some testing on my own here with
calcium and the pesky dandelions that are plaguing one of my pastures – in the spring
it looks like a snowy field out there. I’d like to section off a 50x50 area and inoculate it with
compost (unless I get myself a brewer soon) that had been supplemented with calcium. Would a oyster shells do the trick for
the calcium? If so, how much
calcium in this form would be needed for a given amount of compost? If some other form is necessary, how
much of that? Can calcium be
overdone to the point of killing my pasture grasses, and/or soil? Hmmm, why do I feel the ‘have you had your soil tested’
lecture coming??? Grin ok, ok, I have the form filled out, just
haven’t done the dirty work of filling the bags and writing the check…. I
will!! I will !! =) Mike -----Original
