How much lime did you add?

Oh geeze, this was done on such a huge scale I couldn't tell you. I've
been retired for over 15 years. I know we used Cornell's recipe for
soiless greenhouse production.

I do not use this method now for my own plants as I have been strictly
organic for over a decade, maybe longer. I don't have a problem with
the use of Osmocote in containers, but not for food. Your tea should
be adequate.

For the things you are wanting to grow I am not sure why you are going
through so much trouble, but if you're just fussing around it's an
interesting study. If you find something let me know.

Some people say the coir has too much sodium, but again I never had a
problem with it for growing houseplants. I have a small
hobby/business and I sell Brugmansia spp. to local nurseries. I have
other varieties, but this one seems to fair the best, even if it is
contaminated with tobacco mosaic...etc...I'm rambling.
