Down To Earth Dolomite Lime Fertilizer - 5 lb

Down To Earth 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. Raises soil pH. Prilled, fast acting and easy to apply.

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.

To prepare new gardens, apply 1-1.5 lb per 100 sq. ft. by evenly distributing over soil surface by hand or spreader. For soil pH maintenance, test and apply seasonally as needed.

In spring and fall, apply 2.5-5 lb per 100 sq. ft. and water in well. Results may be enhanced if applied following aeration.

Spread 1/2-1 lb per 1" of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line and water in well.
