We mine and process our dolomitic lime at Bridgetown Quarry.
Dolomite is an organic agricultural soil fertiliser. The difference between calcitic and dolomitic lime, is that dolomitic lime is a source of magnesium and therefore can be used for soil that is in need of magnesium and it can neutralise acidic soil.
Therefore it is also important to check the % CCE (Calcium Carbonate Equivalent) and % Mg on a product analysis.
Dolomite is a soil improver, especially where there is a shortage of magnesium. Magnesium is the central element in the chlorophyll of the leaves of crops and it improves the energy status of the whole plant. Therefore magnesium is vital for overall plant health as well as improving soil conditions for increased crop production.
