Raises soil pH. Prilled, fast acting and easy to apply
Down To Earth’s Dolomite Lime supplies essential nutrients calcium and magnesium, and sweetens your soil (raises the pH) to improve plant growth and maximize fertilizer performance. Magnesium is the element that causes plants to be able to convert light into energy. Natural limestone is ground into an ultra-fine powder and then formed into uniform mini granules (prills) for easy spreading and rapid reaction time.
2 cups ≈ 1 lb; approximately 10 cups per 5 lb box
Most
garden plants prefer a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Performing a
complete soil analysis or using a soil pH home test kit before
application is recommended.
Lawns:
In
spring and fall, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet and water in well.
Results may be enhanced if applied following aeration.
