Description
Garden Lime can be applied straight to soil by hand either on the surface or dug in. It is also easy to spread and can be used with conventional spreaders. As well as being used for the increase of soil pH, it can also be used for improving grass and tillage yield.
Club Root: Prevents club root in cabbages, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and other brassicas. Also affects ornamental and wild relatives such as Cheiranthus and Aubrieta. Club root – fungal infection leading to swollen and distorted roots and stunted growth.
Occurs between midsummer to late autumn when soil is moist and warm. Symptoms: Above ground – stunted growth, purplish foliage and wilting in hot weather. Below ground – root system becomes swollen and distorted.
Very badly affected plants will not survive. Application Can be added all year round, but it is recommended to add in the autumn/winter for annuals such as vegetables before frost so that it can take affect over winter months. It is also recommended to add lime before planting as it will have more effect compared to when added to the surface of established plants.
For highly acidic soil apply every year, other soil every 2-3 years. When applying more that 0.5kg per sq m – dig half into the soil and sprinkle the other half on the surface. When applying less than 0.5kg per sq m – dig the entire amount in, but can be sprinkled on the surface if digging is not practical.
Incorporate in the top 20cm/8" of soil. For young plants: Dig into planting hole. 1 handful (35) per sq m. Soil Conditioner: Fork in feed. 2 handfuls per sq.m.
