Can I use 5-1-1 mix without Lime?

Hi, I'm new and read about Al's mix. I love this site and I finally decided to join! By the way I have the ingredients for the 5-1-1 mix ready, minus the garden Lime, I don't know where to find it.

Before I make my mix, I would like to know:

1-What the purpose of the Lime is and if it is necessary for repotting gardenia and Jasmine plants I just received from an online vendor (they are currently in the small pots they were sent to me in).

2-After I make the mix, should I clear the rootball of each plant of any soil or plant it with the small amount of soil containing the rootball?

3- Should the mix be moistened and left to sit for a number of days before planting the gardenia and Jasmine or could I plant them right away then water the mix?

Thanks for your help!

I tried to search for this topic but there is so much info to browse through!
