LIME

Lime

Contains:

Calcium (Ca)

Function:

Important to filter other nutrients, aiding absorption

Promotes strong cell walls & sturdy stems
Used in the vegetative stage with N, decrease during flowering

Deficiency produces cell-wall collapse (structural failure); curled leaf tips; stunting

Use gypsum instead if your soil is alkaline

Magnesium (Mg)

Function: necessary for photosynthesis

Deficiency produces yellowing on edges & between veins of older leaves

Recommended Product: Crushed Dolomitic Limestone (not palletized)

Determine how much to use by testing the pH of your soil

Don't apply lime at the same time as you apply fertilizer, and try to do it two to three months prior to planting.

Miscellaneous

All the fertilizers you add are useless if the pH is too low or high because the nutrients get locked up in chemical forms the plants canâ??t take in.



Enjoy.

Its Fryday
Everday.
Peace
