Hiya! Wish I could help with more than this, but, Google has an awesome tool for conversions - I use em all the time for lbs/ozs. Anywho, not sure what you need to convert into centimeters/milimeters but you can do a search like this:

1 inch in centimeters
just replace the 1 with whatever. You can also change the inches to feet or whatever, and the centimeters to milimeters, etc....you get the picture Hope that helps a bit.

Good luck!

Not sure about specific acidity levels, but this site might help you find the info you need

from what I understand the lime takes 6 months to a year to affect the soil unlike the quick response you get from the sulfur(sp). If you google on this site bill has a fact sheet that explains it better than I do.

for the future...

I love the sweet scents wafting in the breeze. I stop to admire the vibrant colors of all living things. And people think me odd. Then ODD I am!!!

That's a very good question and I don't know what the answer is. I'm sorry.

You can make soil acidic by adding Miracid, an evergreen fertilizer. Or HollyTone, another.

As for basic soil, try searching for "quickLime" or CaOH, calcium hydroxide.

Also, a cheap pH tester kit will tell you when you reach the desired level.

FEED MILLS are places that you go to find
FEED at to feed animals, such as cows, horse's,
rabbits, chickens, ducks... etc...

Do you have a place/type like that to feed your animals???

I'll see if I can PM some regulare Canadian members here and see if they can come up with a name to a general type feed mill...

YESS!!!

I bought a pH testing-tubey-thingy and I crushed up the Dolomite pellets and so far, I've got the pH up to 8!

This is awesome! You all are amazingly helpful and smart!

Whoops about the feed mills thing...thanks though! (d'oh!)

I hereby proclaim the Gardener's Forum as the Biology Student's best friend

Now I'll stop pestering you guys with these questions and hopefully I've got a 90% coming my way!

Ok everyone sing with me:



Ohhh I had a germination and growth of soybeans project,
and it was about the pH of soil

I spent 30 bucks on materials,
which made my blood boil

The materials proved useless
and I began to weep

The project kept me anxious
through the day and through my sleep

Then my (2nd) best friend Mr. Google showed me something new,
Something beautiful and miraculous

Something by the name of...YOU

OHHhhhhHHh the Gardener's Forum, the Gardener's Forum

Let's all go down there!

the Gardener's Forum, the Gardener's Forum

My problems I will share

So I told the almighty powers that resided there,
They helped me with my project...

And now I'm skipping around wildly with golden curls and panpipessss!!!!

OHHHH the Gardener's Forum, the Gardener's Forum,
let's all go down there!

the Gardener's Forum, the Gardener's Forum,
my problems I can share!!!



haha don't ever change, guys!

Bye and thank you!
