OK. We're off. Water ice found just below the surface of Mars. Good enough for us. Let's go. Impulse power, Mr Sulu

Re: Minty

Re: quicklime ... mint actually prefers a pH of between 7 and 8 (most garden plants prefer 6 to 6.5), but I have successfully grown mint in soils with a pH as high as 9.5. So strangely enough, augmenting your soil with quicklime might actually help it.
