Aglime
Aglime is a soil ‘conditioner’ that balances your soil’s pH. This ensures that existing soil nutrients and fertilisers are readily available for use by plants.
Kennedy Creek Aglime is an earthen source of lime. It is not a hard rock limestone which has to be drill and blasted. It consists of fine crystals which means it is an ‘Aglime Clay’ or “Aglime Chalk’ and therefore a more effective Aglime.
A large percentage of Australian coastal land is naturally acidic and most fertilisers contribute to soil acidity. Acidity ties up soil nutrients and fertiliser, preventing soil microbes from working and thus restricting plant performance. Kennedy Creek Aglime is a sustainable solution. Regular application each year will help to maintain your soil’s pH and stop the natural trend of increased acidity.
Spreaders are available for application and hire.
Application
Professional Use: for best results, always apply based upon soil test recommendations.
Domestic Use: as a general guide, apply two handfuls per square metre per year.
For best results, incorporate into the soil or irrigate following application.
We encourage all users to have their soil tested and apply any product based upon result recommendations.
