Default RE: lime?

Normal lime for pH correction is Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium Carbonate if it's dolomitic limestone. Hydrolized lime is burned lime (which removes the carbon dioxide) otherwise known as portland cement that has been mixed with water (hydrated) to form Calcium hydroxide. It will work to change the pH but is much stronger than normal lime and tends to clump. It'sbetter use is mortar.
