Levington Garden Lime 3.5kg is a premium soil conditioner specifically designed for home gardeners looking to correct soil acidity and improve overall soil health. It is ideal for those managing heavy or acidic garden soils who wish to optimize nutrient absorption for lawns, vegetables, and flower beds. While it is highly effective at raising pH levels, gardeners should note that it should not be applied to acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons or azaleas, as these species require a lower pH to thrive.

The best way is to use a soil testing kit to check your pH. If your pH is below 6.5, your soil is likely acidic and would benefit from Levington Lime.
Be cautious: lime will raise the pH. If you want blue flowers, avoid lime. If you want pink flowers, lime may help change the color.
Typically, once a year is sufficient, though it depends entirely on your soil test results. Do not over-apply.
It is recommended to keep pets and children away from the area during application and until the lime has been watered into the soil to avoid inhalation of dust.
It is best to apply on a dry, calm day to ensure even coverage. Rain shortly after application is actually beneficial as it helps wash the product into the soil.
Verify your soil pH again; it may take several weeks for the lime to fully react with the soil and show visible differences in plant health.
This is often due to moisture exposure. Break up the clumps manually or with a garden tool before spreading; the product remains effective as long as it is dry.
