using this product, and both times I did it I noticed a slight drop in vigor and plant size/growth rates. I'm
sold on it, but if you just can't find it anyplace, you can leave it out.
Prilled Dolomite Lime & Powdered Gypsum
I get both of these locally, and any good nursery should carry both. Granular gypsum will work too; just
add an additional 50% or so to the recommended amounts in the TLO soil mix. Prilled Dolomite Lime is
fantastic, and the prilled form is just a pelletized form, usually reddish brown, and it will be granular look-
ing and say “Fast Acting” on the bag. The granular type of dolomite lime that looks like rock salt will also
work fine here too, it will just not be quite as well as prilled. Avoid the solid little rocks of dolomite lime,
and this will not say “Fast Acting” anywhere on the bag.
Soft Rock Phosphate Powdered & Granular Rock Phosphate
Soft Rock Phosphate (SRP) and Rock Phosphate (RP) are fairly tricky to source. I get my powdered SRP
at:

it listed there. Granular RP is a bit tougher, but better nurseries should carry it, and they can certainly get
it. If you can only get the SRP then do that, but the RP is really a great addition so try to source that one as
well.
Store your soft rock phosphate in a watertight container
