DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Gardens and Landscapes: In order to reduce soil acidity, broadcast and incorporate 0.5 – 6.75 kg per 10 m2 (1 – 13.8 lbs per 100 ft2). For equal pH adjustment sandy soils require a lower rate compared to clay soils and those high in organic matter. However, consult an agronomist to determine appropriate rates for your garden soil.

Field: Consult an agronomist to determine an appropriate application rate. However, typical rates are between 560 to 6700 kg per ha (500 to 6000 lb per acre).

Top-dressing hanging baskets, potted plants, and planter boxes: Mix in 15 ml per 4 L (1 tbsp per gallon) of soil or growing media. In addition, apply monthly or as desired.
