Prilled, Fast Acting and Easy to Apply Dolomite Lime Calcium Magnesium Carbonate Is An Organic Mineral Fertilizer That Raises Soil pH.

Down To Earth’s Dolomite Lime supplies essential nutrients calcium and magnesium, and sweetens your soil (raises the pH) to improve plant growth and maximize fertilizer performance. Magnesium is the element that causes plants to be able to convert light into energy. Natural limestone is ground into an ultra-fine powder and then formed into uniform mini granules (prills) for easy spreading and rapid reaction time.
