I am new to growing atlantic giants and was wondering what to add for calcium? I read everyone talking about calcium but I am not sure what to add. Thankyou for any help!

Start with a soil test.

Pre-Plant: If the pH is low (soil test) then soil applied Dolomitic Limestone supplies both Calcium & Magnesium. This takes a while to work - but it works.

Pre-Plant: If Magnesium is high but Calcium & pH are low - then use Calcitic (aka "Hi-Cal") Limestone.

Young Plants: Calcium Nitrate is hard to get now but can still be found if you don't mind filling out the Homeland Security declaration.

If plants are in the ground & the Calcium levels are dipping, then use a more available liquid form like Nutri-Cal, Vigor-Cal-Phos, etc.
