Why Fast-Acting Lime?

Soil pH plays a crucial role in plant health. If the soil is too acidic, nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium become less available, leading to weak growth and susceptibility to pests and diseases. Earth Science Fast Acting Lime helps restore the soil’s balance, discovering these nutrients and creating optimal growing conditions.

Benefits of Balanced Soil pH

• Improved Nutrient Absorption: Plants can efficiently absorb essential nutrients, leading to stronger roots and greener foliage.
• Moss and Weed Reduction: Acidic soil fosters moss and weed growth while raising the pH suppresses these unwanted invaders.
• Healthier Soil Microbes: Neutral pH supports beneficial soil microorganisms that improve soil fertility and plant health.

How to Use Earth Science Fast-Acting Lime

Test Your Soil

• Use a soil pH test kit to determine if your soil is too acidic (below pH 6.5).
• Ideal pH levels for most lawns and gardens range between 6.5 and 7.0.

Apply the Lime

• Preparation: Mow your lawn or clear debris from the area before application.
• Spreader Settings: Use a spreader set to the recommended rate for even distribution.
• Application Rate: A 2.5-pound bag covers up to 500 square feet. Adjust the amount for larger or smaller areas.

Water the Area

• Water thoroughly after application to help the lime penetrate the soil and start working.

Repeat as Needed

• Reapply every 6–12 months or as indicated by your soil test results to maintain balanced pH levels.
