Never use the old sediment again always use fresh Hydrated lime aka Kalkwasser or Pickling lime.. Also look at a Lowes or some place like thast they have 50 lb of hygrated lime powder for lawns even cheapier then the P/Lime as its not food grade..Like 4.00 a bag |
You are the best. I just saved a ton. Went to Ace Hardware and bought a huge bag of Hydrated lime for $11.32!! Karma for you!!
