The Necessity of Lime
Offsets High Acidic Levels in the Soil
With roughly 50% of all agricultural land in Australia being subject to less than ideal acidic levels, soil treatment is needed in order to offset the undesirable consequences that come from high acidic levels. Soil that is not treated will cause substantial loss in production, and limits the variety of plants to choose from, as some are less acid tolerant than others. Liming your soil will help your crops reach their full potential, and provide a greater yield.
Provides Essential Minerals
As every farmer knows, plants need minerals like calcium and magnesium to grow. When the soil is used repeatedly for farming and gardening or has never been used at all, it can lack these essential nutrients. That’s where the lime from Gillear Lime and Sandstone Quarries comes in. Our lime can give back to the soil, allowing higher yields and helping newly developed land to be used.
Our Lime Products
We offer many different sifted sizes of limestone to fit any application, including agricultural lime, 20ml limestone, 75ml limestone, 40ml limestone, and even unsifted pitrun limestone. Once applied, our limestone can lower the acidity of the soil, allowing plants that require it to grow. If you’ve noticed a lower crop yield than usual, we recommend testing the pH of your soil and adding lime. You’ll notice the difference over time.
