   Isn't that used for melting ice. I would think it would be widely
available, not so here in Atlanta!

   I'm not sure why you want to buy calcium.  If it is for
   adding to your vegetables and fruit trees, calcium

   specifically for that purpose, like Nutri-Cal that
   will be absorbed properly by these plants.

I would think that a store specializing in pickling supplies would, as
might a high-end specialty gourmet shop.
We used it to produce fruit "caviar" back when that was "hip", so ask
a local chef if all else fails.

   Using common calcium chloride will burn the leaves.

   As I mentioned before, products like Nutri-Cal are
   specifically formulated not to damage the leaves.
