About Rapid Lime

Liming is well understood to hold the key to improving crop growth & yields by limiting the adverse effects of high soil acidity ( low pH values). No matter what you are growing it will be improved from the application of Rapid-Lime to combat the deleterious effects of acid levels in the soil. These build up over time from rainfall leaching, the demands of growing crops, decomposition and nitrogen release - these will all serve to lower pH values and restrict valuable growth.

Correcting acid levels with appropriate Rapid-Lime application will bring measurable improvement in yield. As well as improving returns from all arable crops, it will also be beneficial for fruit crops as well as beets, rape and hops. The use of Rapid-Lime on grassland will encourage root development and improve formation of useable grass growth.

Rapid-Lime is made from limestone powder which is granulated to make it easy to apply to the crop or pasture without producing clouds of dust. It can be applied using a standard fertilizer spreader at a time convenient for the customer. This eliminates the use of outside contractors, and makes spreading less dependent on prevailing weather conditions. Rapid-Lime can be used to spot treat problem areas and can be sewn with seed or fertilizer saving time and money. It is an excellent source of calcium, an essential nutrient important in plant cell wall structure and immediate pH improvement can be achieved by using Rapid-Lime at only 20% of the quantity of Conventional Agricultural lime.

Correct and fast pH adjustment using Rapid-Lime allows maximum utilization of expensive fertilizer and it's total effectiveness is greater than conventional lime thus making Rapid-Lime a cost effective alternative.
