I want to grow rare ferns and calcium-dependent perennials like purpleHi Steve,
milkweed and Indian (scarlet) paint-brush. I don't know if liming a field
yearly is something I am interested in doing; I'm interested in sustainable
permaculture and nature-scaping. I would, however, be willing to add rock
and gravel (calcareous -- calcium & magnesium-rich dolomite, for instance) to
the landscape if this would confer a persistent alteration to the soil.
For instance, bring in a few truck loads of dolomite gravel and dump it on a
small field, spread it out, and later seed it with Indian paint-brush
(Castilleja coccinea). Anyone think this would work, long-term?
