Zandor I thought lime was an alkaline base in fact is not the word "base" alkaline. There is no such thing as an acid / base the terms are opposite. I guess it does not matter as all of the above is basically right - no pun intended -

Herbus Reviewed by Herbus on . Lime and Ammonium Nitrate a No No!?? I don't use dolomite lime but I do have ammonium nitrate in my ferts. I read somewhere that the ammonium nitrate will interact with lime and produce toxic ammonia gases also making the nitrate unavailable to the plant. I'm raising this as a possible problem for the pro's to confirm as I could imagine a lot of soil growers would use these ingredients. Zandor do you know anything about this? Rating: 5
