How lime works
Productive farming leaves behind excess hydrogen ions in the soil solution, causing soil acidity. This restricts root growth, limiting the crops access to water and plant growth.
The carbonate in calcium carbonate (limesand) neutralises the hydrogen ions, removing the acidity. Root growth is no longer restricted, access to water increases along with crop growth and yield.
