Dolomite reviels

[Plantinyum]

I got this, with the intention of using it on my tropicals, inground. Read it elevates the soil's ph, should i use just a little bit every now and then?

[Galatians522]

Dolomite is for adding lime and magnesium to acid soils. If your ph is good, gypsum will add calcium without raising the ph.

Thanks, i may have to hold back on use then. I do not know what my soil ph is tho.

K, Ca and Mg do not get along and in fact are antagonistic if one of these is over applied or excessive.

I saw on some YouTube that Dolomite keeps ants away, is this true?

I have ant problems, i sorced one ant colony and will apply ant poison , i feel a deep rage, when i see them climbing up and down on the trunks of my trees.

Diatomaceous earth can be used for killing ants. It doesn't seem to work on my dragon fruit ant infested pots though I keep trying....

I bought some DE but the rain kind of ruined it after I spreader them around my tree, now I just use chili powder, sure enough the ants moved away.
