WHY USE LIME ›
The application of lime has multiple benefits for Irish farmers. Essentially lime increases the pH of an acidic soil to ensure more efficient utilisation of fertilizers and manures with resulting improved yields.

SEE WHAT GROLIME USERS HAVE TO SAY
I use Grolime when my soil testing shows I need lime. I always get the crop response I’m looking for.
We find that using Grolime for the past 40yrs gives better grass yield. As its all young cattle I rear, they thrive much better on the quality grass from land with Grolime applied. This means more net weight gained, higher quality beef and better end price.
Grolime supplies Calcium and in some cases Magnesium. It is important for the production of milk, healthy bone development in livestock and helps to reduce the incidence of grass tetany. Since a large proportion of Irish soils are naturally acidic, planned lime application is essential for growing conditions. By regulating soil pH, Grolime improves the availability of other plant nutrients and important trace elements.
