Is this what I should use for Calcium and Magnesium? It's all I see around town.

I've read your posts, several of them atleast. Dolomite Lime is what you're looking for. It stabilizes the ph and adds cal/mag

That is straight from Jorge's bible not just an opinion on my part.

I know I need powdered dolomite lime, but is that it? That's powdered lime, but is it dolomite?

That is exactly what you want. Listing the Mag like that, indicates it's dolomite. Calcitic lime has little to no Mag.

All the Dolomite Lime I buy is labeled as such. It also isn't powdered, but made up of tiny stones that break down.

I got mine at Home Depot.
