Hydrated Lime quickly raises soil pH (the measure of
the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil).
Adjusting the soil to the proper pH helps plants to

roots to take up nutrients in the soil.

A pH of 6.5 to 7.0 is considered by many to be “neu­tral”. However, each type of plant has a soil pH that
is right for that plant. A soil pH range of 5.8 to 7.0 is
considered suitable for most garden crops and lawns.
