VEGETABLES

Apply 1 pound per 30 square feet on slightly acidic, sandy soil and incorporate into top soil. For clay soils, apply 2 pounds per 30 square feet. Apply Lime 2 to 4 months before planting and incorporate thoroughly in soil. When questionable, determine the acidity of soil before application.

LAWNS

If a medium acidic soil condition exists, apply 5 pounds to 100 square feet. If strongly acidic, apply 5 pounds to 50 square feet. Best results are obtained with two applications.

POTTED PLANTS AND WINDOW BOXES

Add 1 tablespoon per each 1 gallon of water used and stir. Once a year apply this solution to plants that require a neutral or alkaline soil.

MUSHROOM CULTIVATION - COLD WATER PASTEURIZATION

Using Hydrated Lime (calcium hydroxide) for mushroom pasteurization works by raising the PH of the water with which you are hydrating your mushroom substrate. 

This PH level is inhabitable for the contaminants which compete with mycelium whilst the mycelium can survive and thrive on the higher PH substrate.

Alongside this, Hydrated Lime Pasteurization has been shown to improve yields in mushrooms that can tolerate higher PH levels (such as Oyster mushrooms).
