How can I increase the ion exchange equivalence of a blended soil?
There is a regulatory minimum of 1.0 cation exchange equivalents per kilogram of soil for the particular use at issue. Obviously, the soil to be used is not meeting this standard.
I need some idea of possible amendments to raise this number and how much these amendments will affect it. I can figure equivalents from a pure ion standpoint, but who can add pure ions?
Lime, Portland cement and powdered or crushed limestone are the most readily available substances I can think of but I don't know how to judge how much of an effect these will have if applied at particular weight per kilogram of existing soil.
Does anyone have a general rule or specific suggestion?

1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Messenger1 decade agoWhat was the lowest total pitches thrown by the winning and losing pitchers in a major league baseball game?
I remember a game in which the total was three, one for the winning pitcher who threw a double play ball to end the top of the ninth inning, and two by the loser, who gave up a single and a home run to start the bottom of the ninth. Has there ever been a game where each only threw one pitch?
