[Community_garden] calcium carbonate

[Mike McGrath]

pretty much the same, as are hardwood ashes.
    Can't speak for their effectiveness against fruit flies, tho. Mary 
Applehoff told me she never found a really reliable cure other than cleaning 
out the bin and starting fresh.
                                            Good luck!
