Yes, its the same Pott's store. They bought out the Farmers coop in Quitman earlier this year. Pott's couldn't get gypsum in bulk. They had a few bags of hydrated gypsum that was pretty expensive. Boatcycle in Henderson had both gypsum and alum in 50 lb.bags. The gypsum was $6.50 per 50 lb. bag and it is a granular consistency that dissolves quickly in the water. Home Depot had 40 pound pelletized gypsum at some locations for $7.50 per bag.
Ken at Boatcycle said that the recommended application rate was 500 lbs per surface acre. This was less than I had read and been told by some others - but it appears to have worked. I still think that the lime was the critical first step.
