Aglime limestone, also known as agricultural lime, ag lime, garden lime, or agricultural limestone, is a finely ground limestone product used to reduce soil acidity and improve growing conditions. It is commonly produced from calcitic limestone, which supplies calcium, or dolomitic limestone, which supplies both calcium and magnesium.
When applied according to soil-test recommendations, agricultural lime raises soil pH and helps create a better environment for crops, grasses, and other plants. Correcting acidic soil can improve nutrient availability, support beneficial soil activity, strengthen root development, and help fertilizers perform more effectively.
Aglime is widely used because it provides a practical, cost-effective way to maintain productive soil over large agricultural areas and smaller residential landscapes. Its fine particle size increases the limestone surface area exposed to the soil, helping the material react more efficiently than larger limestone aggregate. Application rates should be based on soil pH, crop requirements, and the neutralizing value of the specific lime product.
Common Applications of Aglime Limestone
- Raising soil pH in crop fields and farm ground
- Pasture and hay-field improvement
- Lawn and garden soil conditioning
- Food plots and wildlife-management areas
- Orchard and vineyard soil preparation
- Landscape planting and turf establishment
- Restoring productivity in acidic soils
- Supplying calcium or magnesium where needed
