   By my figuring, I come up with about 757.6 lb/100sq ft.
That is 151.5 times the max application for a garden.  If
this is an application of lime, it would certainly be enough
to dispose of dead bodies.
   I know my chiles would be unhappy in a soil with such
a drastically elevated pH, but what I want to know is:
Could botulism spores survive?
