Lack Of Calcium

Question

Was wondering what I could amend my soil with that would raise my calcium and not my ph, I’ve used liquid calcium through foliage. But would like to fix the problem. I know you could use gypsum but believe that might raise ph.

Answer 1

The foliar spray you used is the best answer. To adjust the soil, you can add gypsum. It is not lime and will not affect pH.
