What is Ag-Lime?

Agricultural Lime, also called Ag-Lime, is a soil additive made from pulverised limestone. The primary component of Ag-Lime is Calcium in the form of Calcium Carbonate. Marule Ag-Lime has 31% Calcium as Calcium Carbonate. Ag-Lime from Limestone cannot have a calcium level higher than 40%.

A percentage of the Silica is available to plants and animals, making it a great soil additive for all purposes.

Additional material percentages can vary significantly between sources of Ag-Lime, as it's mined from different locations, which have different levels of minerals in the mines.
