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.
