Agricultural limestone (AgLime) for soil health and crop yield
Improve your soil naturally with AgLime from Heidelberg Materials
Agricultural limestone, commonly known as AgLime, is a finely ground natural product used to neutralise acidic soils. By balancing soil pH, AgLime improves nutrient uptake, strengthens root systems, and supports healthier crops. One application can last up to five years, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for UK farmers.
