Reasons to use Dolomite on your lawns and gardens!

1. Neutralizes Soil Acidity: Dolomite lime raises the pH of acidic soils. Grass typically thrives in soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Applying dolomite can help bring your soil closer to this range, making it easier for grass to absorb essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

2. Adds Magnesium and Calcium: Both of these nutrients are crucial for healthy plant growth. Calcium helps strengthen the structure of grass roots and enhances overall growth. Magnesium, a core element of chlorophyll, aids in photosynthesis, leading to greener and more vibrant grass.

3. Improves Soil Structure: Dolomite can enhance soil structure by reducing compaction and increasing aeration, especially in clay-heavy soils. Better soil structure improves root penetration and water retention, which benefits the grass.

4. Reduces Lawn Weeds: Weeds tend to thrive in acidic soils. By raising the pH with dolomite, you can create an environment that’s less favorable for weeds, giving your grass a better chance to grow without competition.

How to Apply Dolomite

• Test Soil pH: Before applying dolomite, it’s essential to test the soil pH and magnesium levels. Over-application can lead to nutrient imbalances.
• Application Rate: Typically, apply about 5 kilograms per 100 square meters, but this may vary based on your soil's needs.
• Timing: Apply dolomite in the autumn or early spring for the best results. It takes a few months to fully break down and affect soil pH.

Using dolomite effectively can give you a thicker, greener lawn and healthier soil over time.
