Lime

Agricultural lime is a soil amendment made from pulverized limestone. The primary active component is calcium carbonate. Lime improves soil quality in a variety of ways:

  • Increases the pH of acidic soils
  • Provides a source of calcium for plants
  • Improves uptake of essential plant nutrients
  • Improves water penetration for acidic soils

Lime is not soluble in water and should be applied to low pH (acidic) soils.

Both of our lime products are OMRI-approved for use in organic agriculture:

  • Blue Mountain Ag Lime (CaCO3)
  • Blue Mountain Dolomite Lime ~ The higher percentage of Magnesium in Dolomitic lime makes it an ideal additive for soil with low calcium and magnesium levels.

Most effective when incorporated into the soil, Blue Mountain Ag and Dolomite limes are available in various formulations:

  • Ag Grade
  • Standard Prilled, pelletized
  • Mini Prilled, pelletized

Lime is sold in truckload quantities only. Call 530-894-1782 for a quote or email us.
