Westland Garden Lime makes soils less acidic, enabling plants to take up the nutrients they need for healthy growth as well as development. If soils become too acidic, nutrients get locked away, plants can suffer deficiencies and feeding also becomes less effective. Garden Lime is also a valuable source of calcium.
