Conditioners
Commercial
Leading agriculturalists give highest priority to the maintenance
of a soil's pH.
West Coast soils are naturally acidic due to precipitation
with a pH of 4.7 or less (common to Lower Mainland). The application
of nitrogen based fertilizers raises the free hydrogen concentration
of the soil which directly lowers the pH.
As soil becomes increasingly acidic, calcium, magnesium
and potassium can be leached out of the soil.
If poor growth, loss of stand, or weeds plague your lawn,
Dolomite Soil Conditioner may be the answer to your problems.
 |
Although necessary to assure healthy growth and colour,
nitrogen fertilizers applied each spring remain at the
soil surface and create strongly acid conditions in
the top 1/2 inch of soil - the "Root Zone" for most
lawn grass species.
|
Acid
precipitation of 4.7 (a typical pH) further aggravates these
conditions which causes the grass to die out, and encourages
the growth of acid tolerant weeds.
Residential
Ground calcitic and dolomitic limestone are the liming "products
of choice" because of their overall effectiveness, low cost
and ease of handling (non-toxic/non-burning).
