I got 2 of the same zuchinni plants one in a pot and the other one is in a raised garden bed. both got a slow release fertilizer in the soil. and I find the plant in the pot is larger and greener and grows fruit faster. and the plant in the raised bed is a lighter green color and is smaller. does this sound like a lime deficiency issue or a nitrogen deficiency. I have noticed on the smaller plant 1 female flower turning yellow before blooming.

That sounds like a calcium problem. .. I would definitely increase the calcium. Garden lime , some people use powder, milk, whole milk

Is it recommended to add the Garden Lime Calcium Carbonate when you first plant your seedlings outside (will it hurt seedlings or burn them) or do you recommend waiting until they are a little more established? Thanks for your help and all the information!

You could mix 1 cup to a 5 gallon ... If you buy any different type, always double check the description in the back of the box.. Will let you know the direction of how much to mix...

Yes, absolutely , works on zucchini plant squash, pumpkin peppers, tomatoes etc

how often do I use the mix once a week or every time I water? I have blossom rot now.

Once every 2 weeks or even once a month.. After applying this now wait a couple days and it will work ..

Do you use this in replacement for fertilizer, or do you still have to use fertilizer on the side ?

@Greentgarden

You have to still use fertilizer.. this is just extra calcium, which some of the plants need as they are producing a lot

Thank you. You both answered my question

Does this lower the nitrogen content? It changes the ph to less Acidic

@Greentgarden

Жыл бұрын

lime supports nitrogen. Adding lime to your garden soil improves water penetration and with the raised pH, the plant nutrient.. it wouldn't lower it .. always add coffee Grounds or green grass clippings to boost nitrogen.. if needed

Do you fertilize herbs? Is 5-1-1 fish emulsion safe for herbs?

So I never used that one before I looked it up and it looks good , also blood meal fertilizer is good ! I never really fertilized herbs before , I guess by using the home compost it's rich with everything that's why..

How much dolomite to apply to a 3 gallon container.

So 1-2 tablespoons per gallon or water.. Mix well

Thought I heard on another video not to mix lime and other fertilizers because creates a chemical reaction. But idk

You might be right , I never had any problems before... you could separate them on different days.. add fertilizer for us and wait a couple days and then add lime if needed..
