It is safe calcium – nonaggressive, unlike oxidic and hydrogen-oxidic calcium. Mentioned limes are fast-working and aggressive fertilizers, which affect the soil microflora negatively.

Soil analysis describes and presents in detail the soil chemical composition – including soil pH. In Poland some soils require deacidifying immediately, there are also soils that have regulated pH and there is no need for additional treating with lime. While having soil analysis results from your fields every farmer has a chance to regulate the reaction of the soil in a right and compatible with agricultural chemistry way, together with the rule of ,,as expensive as it’s necessary, as cheap as it’s possible”. So if treating with lime is necessary every farmer should choose fertilizers from checked, trustworthy and local providers and apply them according to the enumeration based on soil analysis results.
