Lime has been used to improved soils for many years

Add to acidic soils to increase pH (Make more alkaline)
Most vegetables require a neutral pH (7 pH) to grow well
Most garden plants prefer a higher pH (7+ pH / alkaline soil) to grow well
Also used to improve soil structure
- Aids soil particles to bind together improving soil crumb structure
- Improve soils 'workability'
Improves the workability of heavy clay soils
Improves nutrient uptake ability of soils (allows plants absorb soil nutrients easily)
Used to feed plants - Contains Calcium & Magnesium both essential nutrients for plants
Add to Cabbage plants to prevent Clubroot

Different soils require different application rates of lime
Both soil pH & soil texture will determine application rates
First test your soil to determine soil pH
Application rates:
- pH 6 Clay soil: 7Kg /10m²
- pH 6 Sandy soil: 5Kg /10m²
- PH 5 Clay soil: 14Kg /10m²
- pH 5 Sandy soil: 10Kg /10m²
Work lime down into soil
For best results place lime close to plant roots
Best applied in Autumn to allow it break down over Winter months
Do not over apply & avoid applying near ericaceous plants
