Dear ST friends
I need an advice on Kovachii' culture.
I live in Rome, a big city but far from limestone quarry. I'm not able to find limestone chips, but I have found Marble chips.
This is chemical analysis
CaCO3 97%
Ca 37%
Sio2 0,38%
First thing hard to understand is that addition is not 100% but more!! I receive documents from 2 different stone quarry and results are more or less the same.
My questions are:
- may I use Marble chips instead of limestone chips in potting mix for my Kovachii?
- Would you use it alone or togheter with granite chips?
- would you add crushed oyster in any case?
Thanks to everybody
Luca
