What’s the difference between Garden Lime and Dolomite Lime?
Both are used to correct soil acidity – most soils that are regularly fertilised will become more acid over time and this may affect plant growth. Lime, an alkaline material, is used to raise the pH to the optimum level for the majority of plants, usually between pH 6 and 7). Garden Lime contains calcium, while Dolomite Lime contains both calcium and magnesium (important trace elements) and will condition the soil as well as adjust the pH. Some plants prefer an alkaline soil, and either product can be used to increase the pH to a level above 7.
