I couldn't find it at kmart, walmart, or any other store. I had to get Hydrated Lime from a feed store.

Lots of people say you can get pickling lime at Walmart...what department in Walmart can you find this stuff?

Anyone know of super markets in the SF bay area that carry pickling lime?

thanks

This may be just a "Southern" phenomina but most of our grocery stores carry "Canning" supplies. I guess 'cause we do alot of gardening and "put up" the surplus yield as preserves. Ask your Wal-Mart where their "Ball canning or Mason jars" are and the other supplies ( including the lime ) should be nearby. I have been using it for about a year and have had no complaints so far - do need to use a little more than regular Kalk ( mix a little heavy ). Have you considered the mix that BReefCase suggests in the FAQ's of white vinegar and Kalk or lime? I have been doing this for the last month - things look positive but need more time to be sure. You know how it is - good things take forever but bad things happen with blinding rapidity.

Just ordered 8 bags. Stuff is pretty cheap. As soon as my Kalk runs out, I will start using this.
