Garden Lime Prilled (5 lb box)
Raises Soil pH
Down To Earth™ 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.
Key Benefits of Garden Lime:
Corrects Soil Acidity: Raises pH in acidic soils (pH below 6.0), optimizing the environment for plant growth.
Supplies Essential Calcium: Provides calcium necessary for strengthening plant cell walls and overall health.
Prevents Disease: Helps prevent "blossom end rot" in vegetables like tomatoes and peppers by providing necessary calcium.
Improves Nutrient Absorption: Enables plants to access nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium more efficiently, even if fertilizer is applied.
Improves Soil Structure: Enhances clay and compacted soils by encouraging smaller particles to form larger crumbs, improving drainage and aeration.
Boosts Microbial Activity: Fosters beneficial soil microbes that break down organic matter and release nutrients.
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.

I bought this to help raise the PH level in the soil around a bush on the side of my house that my dog likes to use as his restroom. The leaves were turning brown on the top. This helped bring it back and it's doing very well.
