I used a mortar and pestle on a bottle of tums. Ground it all into a fine
powder and put a teaspoon in each of the five gallon pots with one tomato
plant growing in each. Would anyone advise adding limestone pellets also?
These pellets are slow to react and might reduce the acidity for the long
range.
Thank you,
John Sorge
