I read Bob Wellenstein's (http://www.ladyslipper.com) article on increasing
the leaching of salt out of coconut husk chips (CHC)
(http://ladyslipper.com/coco3.htm) using calcium nitrate and epsom salts.
I'd like to try it, but I am having trouble finding a source for calcium
nitrate. Googling, I can find that it used to be commonly sold in a
15.5-0-0 formula, however my garden supply stores don't carry this anymore.
(fallout from Tim McVeigh?)
Is there another common name for calcium nitrate under which it is more
readily available?
