The product is 10 times better for the garden than humus: fertility will increase to the maximum
Liming the soil: why and when to do it. SSPDaily tells about it.
Why lime the soil
- Liming the soil gives it the necessary acidity.
- It helps plants to collect phosphorus from the soil, ensuring more stable growth.
- It creates soil conditions favorable for microorganisms, aeration of earthworms, etc.
Liming makes the soil more fertile and rich in minerals. Bacteria and fungi that process organic matter that enriches the soil are more likely to inhabit soil with an optimal pH level.
When to sprinkle lime on the garden
Liming can increase soil acidity and promote faster crop growth if done at the right time. The best time to do this is in late fall or early spring. Experienced farmers apply lime to the soil in March, a few weeks before the planned sowing.
Which lime is best for deoxidizing the soil in spring
Powdered lime penetrates the soil quickly, unlike granules, which dissolve slowly. Therefore, manufacturers recommend using granular lime in the fall to gradually release beneficial compounds into the soil, while powdered lime, which quickly penetrates the soil, is best for spring.
Liming can be done once every 1-2 years or less, depending on the acidity level of the soil.
