Down To Earth Organic Prilled Dolomite Lime – Calcium & Magnesium for Soil pH, 5 lb

Overview

Down To Earth All Natural Fertilizers Organic Prilled Dolomite Lime is a natural calcium magnesium carbonate designed to gently raise the pH of acidic garden soils while delivering essential minerals. Packaged in a 5 lb bag, the lime arrives as light, uniform prills that spread evenly for consistent soil contact. The prilled form means you can cover beds with less effort and achieve a quicker, more uniform reaction compared with bulk powders.

In addition to balancing acidity, the lime contributes calcium and magnesium—two nutrients closely tied to sturdy cell walls, healthier root systems, and more balanced nutrient uptake. It is OMRI Listed for Organic Use, offering confidence for organic gardeners and farmers seeking soil-based amendments that align with organic standards. Using this product as part of a broader soil strategy can support better root establishment during transplanting and a stronger start for leafy greens, peppers, and fruiting crops.

Key benefits

• Raises soil pH naturally to improve nutrient availability and prevent lockout in acidic soils.
• Provides calcium and magnesium to support cell walls, root growth, and overall plant vigor.
• OMRI Listed for Organic Use, suitable for certified organic gardening and farming.
• Improves soil structure and tilth, helping with water retention and easier root penetration.
• Easy-to-use prilled form delivers fast, uniform coverage and a predictable soil reaction timeline.

How to use

• Test your soil pH to determine how much amendment is needed for target crops.
• Evenly sprinkle the prilled lime over the soil surface, avoiding direct contact with stems or crowns.
• Water thoroughly after application to help dissolve granules and promote contact with soil particles.
• Re-test soil after several weeks and adjust future applications based on plant response and soil test results.

Ideal uses and real-life scenarios

Ideal for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and container mixes where acidity reduces nutrient uptake. The lime’s calcium and magnesium content can support strong stem strength for tall crops, better root systems for transplant success, and more consistent growth across the bed.

In practice, gardeners often apply dolomite lime ahead of planting seasons or after harvest to reset soil chemistry. The 5 lb bag is convenient for small to medium plots and can be combined with other organic amendments as part of a seasonal soil plan. Visual improvements may include steadier growth and more uniform leaf color as soils move toward neutral pH.

What you might notice

While results vary by soil type and climate, a balanced pH and mineral availability can help support reliable nutrient uptake, especially in crops that prefer near-neutral soils. This product is a practical option for proactive soil care rather than a guaranteed outcome.
