Why would anyone want to add more lime that that needed to adjust pH?
Not to say that you wouldn't want to add large quantities of other

I'd like to resubscribe to the bd-now list; how is this done?
sub id would be london@ibiblio.org.
I still plan to send you a cd containing old bd list archives if you
still want them. Am getting real interested in Hugh Lovel's
work in BD and have begun archiving his writings as found in sanet:

Am also supportive of ABA and hope it succeeds. Am willing to donate
time and resources to help it along. 
biodynamics and permaculture are two peas in the same pod as I see it,
inseparable and of immense value to Earth inhabitants.
