Garden Lime Powder
Garden Lime is a calcium carbonate that neutralises acids in soils. It is a rich source of calcium, an important nutrient for plant health. By making soils more alkaline, Garden Lime unlocks many essential minerals, including phosphorus and magnesium, making them available to plants and boosting growth, flowering and fruiting.
Soil Solutions Garden Lime is made of Calcitic Limestone, sourced from the oldest operating lime pit in Victoria. Calcitic Limestone is soft and fine, allowing it to dissolve quickly and rapidly neutralise soil acidity.
Benefits Of Garden Lime Powder
Garden Lime can have many potential benefits for soil health:

Spread evenly over the surface and water in well. Avoid acid-loving plants like azaleas, camellias and blueberries. After application, the presence of soil fungi helps maintain calcium levels in the soil and prevents leaching. Our Karbon Kredits product delivers a blend of natural microbes to help preserve calcium levels, available in our store.
