How to Balance Soil pH with Dolomite Lime

Soil pH measures how acidic or alkaline your soil is, on a scale from 0 (very acidic) to 14 (very alkaline), with 7 being neutral. Most crops grow best in soils with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Outside of this range, many essential nutrients become less available, and toxic elements can build up.

Low pH (acidic soil) can lead to problems like:

1. Poor nutrient uptake;
2. Aluminum toxicity;
3. Reduced microbial activity;

Managing pH is one of the most important steps in building healthy soil and increasing crop yield.
