- Is a finely pulverized, damp, dolomite limestone used to control soil pH.
- Quickly neutralizes soil acidity to provide the best environment for plant growth.
- Supplies calcium and magnesium, two very important plant nutrients.
- Can improve both fertilizer and herbicide efficiency by producing recommended soil pH levels.
- Has been designed to be applied with spinner-type magnesium lime spreaders.
