I almost always add dolomite lime to my soil, since at least 1/4th of it generally consists of peat. And since it gets added every time I need to transplant, I rarely run into troubles with runoff pH dropping too low because of depleted lime. If you do less than two transplants over the course of the plants life, you may either need to add more to the soil, or go with the second plan of attack.

Testing and correcting water EVERY time you need to feed seems a little tedious to me, which is why I prefer the lime. But, to each his own.

Take care. :jointsmile:
