Granulated Lime - 97% CaCO3

G-lime® is made from extremely fine calcium carbonate. This makes it the fastest acting agricultural lime on the market. Unlike ground limestone, which will contain many larger chips, every pellet of granulated lime is 100% effective at raising the pH of your soil soon after application. The extremely fine lime is formulated into granules for easy spreading.

Suitable for grassland, tillage and horticulture.

Granule size: 8.0mm

General application rate: Good pH 80kg/acre - Low pH 150kg/acre - Reseeding 150kg/acre

For most soils, a pH value between 6 and 7 is optimal. For annual compensation - light soils 4-6kg/100m², medium clay 10-15kg/100m², hard clay 20-25kg/100m². When composting sprinkle about 10 kg/m³ of compost material.

  • Contains 38.8% Calcium (54.3% Calcium Oxide) - this additional calcium also ensures that your crop remains resilient against threats from bacteria, fungus and insects
  • Regular liming will help reduce the moss on your lawn as the drainage is improved and the soil life stimulated
  • Easily applied with a fertiliser spreader.
  • Most soils only need calcitic lime as their magnesium levels are already optimal. For most applications, calcitic lime is best. But you should always double-check the mineral content in your soil just to be sure. For lime which also has magnesium, please click here for dolomite lime
  • Approved for use on organic holdings subject to approval from your certification body
