as for Calcium Nitrate and Magnesium sulfate, I would recommend you to read the K-Lite thread in Slippertalk... a lot of good info there! It's a long thread and sometimes a bit confusing, but a really informative one!

If you can find limestone chunks, it works just as well.

Here in the US, they're inexpensive and they last a long time.

I have found two places where I can buy it, but the first place requires a bunch of paperwork, which I'm okay with, the problem is that I think the smallest bag they have is a 25kg one, and I REALLY don't need that much. I've found another place where I can buy it, but I'll have to wait until growing season for the farmers begin, which means around June/July somewhere. It's darn hard to get your hands on! That's all I can say.

I've started reading the thread on Slippertalk, but I think I gave up on it. I'll try it again though.

Trust me King Philip, if I could I would. All I can get my hands on (as far as I can tell) are big chunks meant for your garden paths.

I take those limestone chunks for pathways, wrap them in newspaper or something. Grab a metal hammer, and pretend I'm Thor and go smashing them to bits.
