Application Rates:
2 cups ≈ 1 lb, 1 tbsp ≈ 12 g., 1 tsp ≈ 4 g
Most garden plants prefer a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, and proper application rates vary depending on soil-type.
Performing a complete soil analysis before application is recommended. If you do not know your soil pH or soil type, use the recommended application rates below.
Mixing Directions:
- Make a concentrated solution by mixing the total weight of recommended Solution Grade Calcium 96 with water (do not exceed rate of 8 lbs per gallon).
- Mix this concentrated solution into the total volume of water necessary for coverage. Continued agitation is recommended to keep diluted solution in suspension.
- Most effective when applied to pre-wetted soils.
- Additional calcium may be required to overcome the acidifying effects of nitrogen fertilizers and/or to account for crop-specific calcium needs.
For pH Adjustments:
- To raise pH by 0.1: Use 10 g (2½ tsp) per 10 square feet OR use 2 g (½ tsp) per 10 gallons of soil in containers.
- Apply as a diluted solution around base of plants.
