Plaster of Paris, Like Me, Is Cheap & Easy

Hi,

Sorry I did not see this earlier…:eek:

Calcium is a necessary element for life.:gw

Many of us dose Calcium; it depends on your water supply and the plants and critters you keep.:)

CSM+B does not contain Calcium.

There are many sources of Calcium; plaster of Paris is a cheap, easy source of Calcium. GH Boosters generally include Calcium.

Critters such as snails can be good indicators of Calcium deficiency.

Without knowing anything about your situation beyond the snail with a bad shell and that you are concerned about Calcium...

  • I would add at least a gram of plaster of Paris for each 20 liters of water.
