Dolomite Lime Prilled (5 lb box)
Dolomite Lime Prilled (5 lb box)
Raises Soil pH
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.
Dolomite is not a good choice for California foothill soils which are high in magnesium. Use oystershell lime or mined limestone instead.
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.
- Derived from dolomite limestone
- Guaranteed Analysis-calcium (23.5%), magnesium (9.5%), calcium carbonate (49.8%), magnesium carbonate (32.9%)
- Calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) is 98.2%

I really like this product. It really helped to keep my soil PH balanced.
I bought this to add to my homemade garden fertilizer. Great source of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. Go organic.
Let customers speak for us
from 9167 reviewsWorking great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
Appreciate that you have this in bulk quantities. We use this as a rooting hormone and as a potting mix and soil supplement. Kelp meal is rich in minerals and micro-nutrients and contains growth hormones that support healthy root growth.
Helps me keep the ants down on my property. Place outside and keeps ants down even in your house.
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
Top notch fertilizer and great store
The seeds popped up in no time. They are of excellent quality. I will buy again from Grow Organic. Thank you.
I purchased a can along with a sharpening tool for hand cutters. The Felco cleaner a
