Frequently Asked Questions
What does this granulated lime actually do for grass?
It neutralises acidic soil by raising the pH level to an optimal range for grass growth. This allows it to absorb essential nutrients much more effectively.
How do I know if the grass needs this product?
If your grass looks pale, struggles to grow, or has heavy moss and weed infestation, your soil is likely too acidic. Running a simple soil pH test will confirm if it falls below the ideal 6 to 7 range.
When is the best time of year to apply it?
You can apply granulated lime at any time of the year, but autumn and winter are the most traditional periods. This timing allows the granules to break down and condition the soil ahead of the spring growing season.
What is the correct application rate for this 20kg bag?
The application rate varies between 6 grams and 20 grams per square meter depending on your soil type. Lighter sandy soils require less lime, while heavy clay or peat soils need the higher end of that scale.
How much area will a single 20kg bag cover?
At the standard maintenance rate, one 20kg bag will cover 500 square meters. At the heavier treatment rate, a bag will cover 250 square meters.
Is this product safe for pets and children after application?
Yes, it is safe for animals and children to return to the grass immediately after application because it is a natural calcium carbonate product. However, it is best practice to water it in well or wait for rain to dissolve the granules first.
Can I apply this granulated lime at the same time as lawn fertiliser?
It is best to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks between applying lime and applying a nitrogen-based fertiliser. Applying them together can cause a chemical reaction that releases nitrogen into the air as gas, wasting your fertiliser.
Does this lime kill moss directly?
No, it does not act as a direct chemical moss killer. Instead, it raises the soil pH to create conditions that favour healthy grass while making the environment hostile for moss.
How should I apply the granules evenly across my lawn?
You can apply it by hand using a protective glove or push spreader if applying to a lawn or a towable spreader for larger areas. Ensure you calibrate your spreader according to the recommended application weight.
How long does it take to see results in the soil?
Granulated lime is specially manufactured to break down quickly with moisture, so it begins working within days of rainfall or watering. However, significant changes to the overall soil pH level usually take 4 to 8 weeks.
