Hi Bluehelix,

thanks for that. Very helpful.

I did a little research and sources of calcium carbonate include tums and rolaids.

Good source, bad source? There is a wine store near me. I'll give them a call.

Your ratio of 1:15 for peat moss wouldn't apply directly to cactus mix which is only partially peat moss, the rest being made up of sand etc. I'm thinking that I'd use say 1/2 as much CC. Correct?

So:

Say I want two cups of cactus mix for the casing (500 ml) I would want 17 ml of calcium carbonate and 10ml of gypsum?
