Aglime

Aglime is produced from pulverised limestone and is manufactured to specifications suitable for soil amelioration. It is an off-white limestone powder predominantly finer than 2mm and tested frequently.

In the right conditions, finer grades will have a higher surface area and may react more quickly in acidic environments. Rate of reaction will depend on a number of factors such as soil type, moisture content and pre-application soil pH. 

Graymont Aglime is Fertmark certified with a minimum CaCO3 of 90%; 50% passing 500μm, and less than 5% retained on a 2mm screen. Please note that moisture is added to Graymont Aglime at appropriate times to minimize dust and improve consistency. 

Graymont Aglime is also BioGro certified participating in annual audits against the BioGro standards.
