Benefits of Lime Usage

  • The use of lime results in the correct soil composition with more worms, nutrients and more growth
  • Lime raises or maintains the soil pH at the ideal level (pH 5.8 - 6.2), which then stimulates the soil nutrient cycle.
  • AgLime enhances decomposition with the breakdown of dead plant matter and dung-all being part of the biological cycle.
  • Soils already contain a lot of nutrients for plant growth, yet many are not available to plants when the soil pH is at the wrong level. With the pH level in the correct range, these nutrients are more able to be taken up by plants.
  • Having a balanced soil environment ensures fertiliser applications are fully utilised.
