What is
GRAN-LIME?
Gran-Lime is a lime that is far more finely-ground than typical ground limestone. It is a combination of calcium and magnesium lime which is 100% water-soluble and 99% available to plants in the soil. It comes in a granulated form for ease of spreading by any conventional spreader. It is specially formulated to quickly reduce the acidity in the soil. |

| APPLICATION RATE |
| Good pH: |
| Apply 125kgs/ha/year (1 x 50kg bag/acre/year) to maintain pH levels. |
| Low pH: |
| Apply 250kgs/ha/year (2 x 50 kg bags/acre/year) until pH rises and 125kgs/ha/year (1 x 50kg bag/acre/year) to maintain this pH level. |
| Reseeding |
| Apply 250kgs/ha (2 x 50kg bags/acre) at reseeding and 125kgs/ha (1 x 50kg bag/acre) in subsequent years. |
GRAN-LIME is best applied at the beginning of the growing season, but can be used effectively at any time of the year. |
