DTE Dolomite Lime 5lb 31043

Raises soil pH. Prilled, fast acting and easy to apply

Down To Earth’s Dolomite Lime sweetens your soil (raises the pH) to improve plant growth and maximize fertilizer performance. Natural dolomite is ground into an ultra-fine powder then prilled into uniform granules for easy spreading. This allows for a rapid reaction time once applied to garden soils and lawns. Dolomite lime supplies calcium and magnesium, essential nutrients that are required for proper plant growth and development.

How to use

2 cups ≈ 1 lb; approximately 10 cups per 5 lb box

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.

Lawns:

In spring and fall, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet and water in well. Results may be enhanced if applied following aeration.

To Adjust Soil pH

Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds:

To prepare new gardens, apply 1-1.5 lbs per 100 square feet by evenly distributing over soil surface by hand or spreader. For soil pH maintenance, test and apply seasonally as needed.

Trees & Shrubs:

Spread ½-1 lb per 1” of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line and water in well.
