I am wondering if anyone has heard of this product. I found it at Lowes and like a genius forgot to take a picture of it's chemical make-up. Before I go back to Lowes has this product already been deemed unsafe for use as kalk?

It is actually most likely ground calcium carbonate (limestone), not calcium hydroxide (lime), but in general, even if it were calcium oxide or hydroxide, I do not recommend agricultural grades since they are often not subject to much purity requirement.

Randy would this apply to the dolomitic lime in thread above?
It would be nice to able to dose Ca, alk and mg all in one.

I agree with Boomer's comment there. :)
