Most garden plants prefer a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Performing a complete soil analysis or using a soil pH home test kit before application is recommended.
Lawns:
In spring and fall, apply 2.5-5 lbs per 100 square feet and water in well. Results may be enhanced if applied following aeration.
Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds:
To prepare new gardens, apply 1-1.5 lbs per 100 square feet by evenly distributing over soil surface by hand or spreader. For soil pH maintenance, test and apply seasonally as needed.
Trees & Shrubs:
Spread ½-1 lb per 1” of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line and water in well.
To Adjust Soil pH
| Current pH | Apply per 100 sq.ft |
