N-P-K-Ca 0 - 0 - 0 - 32

 

Tui Lime is made from natural limestone and provides calcium to soils. Calcium is essential for strong plant growth and aids in the uptake of other nutrients. 

 

Most plants prefer a fairly neutral soil pH for optimum growth. Lime can be used to raise the soil pH level and sweeten the soil if necessary.

 

Lime can also be applied to organic matter to help accelerate the decomposition process.

 

Benefits

  • Assists in aerating an acid soil structure.
  • Encourages decomposition of organic matter.
  • Excellent for breaking up clay soil.
