Dolomite – 2Kg is a natural soil conditioner and fertilizer that supplies essential Calcium and Magnesium for healthy plant growth. It is commonly used to raise the pH of acidic soils, improving nutrient availability and overall soil health. Ideal for garden beds, potted plants, and lawn care, Dolomite helps strengthen plant cell walls and supports robust root development.
When to use it
- You can add dolomite to your yard, flower beds and vegetable gardens any time there's no frost or freezing temperatures, but it's best to add it in spring or fall.
- Pick a day when no rain is predicted so it won't wash off the soil before being absorbed.
- Also choose a non-windy day, as dolomite for garden use is often in a powdered, talc-like form.
- With vegetables, adding the dolomite before you plant gives the seeds an extra boost, then you can add more as necessary as the plants are growing.
- Adding dolomite into the growing medium before planting helps prevent some type of plant problems and rot usually caused by lack of calcium.
How to Apply
- If you're adding it to an empty garden where you plan to plant flowers or vegetables, turn it into the top 6 inches of the soil before you plant.
- To change the soil's pH, determine how much you need and spread it on top of the soil. For example, if your soil has a pH of 5.5 and you want to raise it to closer to 6.5, add 10 pounds of dolomite per 100 square feet of space.
- That would be equivalent to a 10-by-10-foot bed or a 5-by-20-foot bed. To prevent burning existing plants, spread the applications out throughout the growing season.
