Calcium

Isn't that used for melting ice. I would think it would be widely available, not so here in Atlanta!

Check a pharmacy.

It's a low temperature ice melter. Whether you can buy it in a pharmacy, you can certainly buy it large quantities for melting ice. For example:

It's also has characteristics that it make it suitable for desiccant dehumidifying/air conditioning.

Andy,

I'm not sure why you want to buy calcium. If it is for adding to your vegetables and fruit trees, calcium chloride will not work. You should look at products specifically for that purpose, like Nutri-Cal that will be absorbed properly by these plants.

I would think that a store specializing in pickling supplies would, as might a high-end specialty gourmet shop. We used it to produce fruit "caviar" back when that was "hip", so ask a local chef if all else fails.

Try a place that sells home brewing supplies. It's used in all-grain brewing to adjust the pH of the mash.

Ross.

If you want to get calcium into a plant, the best way is with a foliar spray of the proper calcium compound. Using common calcium chloride will burn the leaves.

As I mentioned before, products like Nutri-Cal are specifically formulated not to damage the leaves.

Crude stuff would be road salt. For food grade you need pure.
