Down To Earth’s Garden lime sweetens your soil (raises the pH) to improve plant growth and maximize fertilizer performance. Natural limestone is ground into an ultra-fine powder and then formed into uniform mini granules (prills) for easy spreading and rapid reaction time. Lime supplies calcium, an essential nutrient required for proper plant growth.

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.
