Q: What is lime? A: It’s a natural product that we spread on farm to get the soil in top growing condition.

  • Lime is a completely natural product, ground limestone rock (CaCO3). It improves the quality of the soil structure by neutralising soil acid, and providing nutrients and trace elements.
  • By using lime to get the soil condition right from the outset, there are many benefits that follow: because soil conditions are right, other fertiliser applications are much more effective; good soil structure encourages grass and clover growth; and feed quality and pasture palatability is much better.
  • Unlike many fertilisers, lime has no harmful effects on the environment as it is a natural product.
