Been given a bag of Thomas Elliot “material”, problem is there’s no label so don’t know what the contents is. Very fine powder first thought it’s lime but could be grass fertiliser ? Any tests to determine what it is?

Grass fertiliser is likely to be pretty water-soluble, whereas ground calcium carbonate is fairly insoluble, so mix a good handful with some water (not too much water, maybe a litre), stir vigorously for a while, and see what happens. Grass fertiliser should mostly dissolve, whereas lime will make a cloudy suspension to start with, which should then settle out on the bottom. -
Thanks, great answer. Why did I think of that. 🙁Comment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
