A generous 10 kg bag is the most economical choice for liming spacious lawns, large potato fields, and new green areas. This powdered limestone flour, made from natural Estonian raw materials, is specifically designed to reduce soil acidity and restore nutrient balance in large areas.
Since moss overgrowth in lawns is often a direct sign of excessive soil acidity and calcium deficiency, regular liming is one of the most effective and long-lasting methods for moss removal. Raising the soil’s pH creates an unfavorable environment for moss, while strengthening the root systems of lawn plants with the support of magnesium and calcium. It is also an indispensable material for neutralizing large quantities of acidic peat moss before spreading it into greenhouses or raised garden beds.
Usage and Cultivation Instructions: Spread the lime evenly over the desired area from early spring until late autumn.
-
Lawns and Existing Planting Areas: Apply 8 kg per 100 m² annually.
-
Establishing a New Garden or Large Lawn: Mix 30–80 kg / 100 m² into the cultivated soil (depending on the initial soil acidity).
-
Mixing with Peat: For neutralizing each cubic meter (1 m³) of peat moss, estimate approximately 6 kg of limestone flour.
Tips and Recommendations:
-
For even coverage of a large lawn, use a garden cart or a specialized spreader on a calm day, as the fine powder tends to easily drift in the wind.
-
If a soil test indicates very strong acidity (below pH 5,0), do not attempt to raise the pH all at once with a single large application of lime. Divide the required amount over two years to allow the soil’s micro-organisms to adapt to the new conditions.
