Overview

Westland Garden Lime 4kg is a ready-to-use granular soil conditioner designed to reduce soil acidity and improve nutrient availability. When soil becomes too acidic, essential nutrients can become less available to plants, reducing the effectiveness of feeding. Garden Lime adjusts soil conditions so plants can make better use of the nutrients already present.

It also provides calcium and magnesium, supporting strong plant growth, greener foliage and fruit quality. Garden Lime can also help improve the structure of heavy soils and may be used on lawns to support soil structure, drainage and nutrient uptake.

Why We Love It

• Corrects acidic soil conditions – helps create a better environment for healthy plant growth.

• Improves nutrient availability – useful where low soil pH is restricting nutrient uptake.

• Calcium and magnesium source – supplies two useful mineral nutrients.

• Helps heavy soils – supports improved soil structure.

• Useful on lawns – can be applied where liming is needed to improve soil conditions.

• Long-lasting soil treatment – normal soils generally require treatment only every third year.

Product Details

How to Use

Garden Lime should be used only where there is a recognised need to reduce soil acidity. Testing your soil pH first is the best way to establish whether liming is appropriate.

Apply the granules evenly at the appropriate rate, keeping them away from plant foliage and stems.

The current manufacturer guidance gives an application rate of 10g per m². At this rate, a 4kg pack can treat up to approximately 400m².

Do not exceed the recommended rate, as excessive application can damage plants.

When to Apply

Westland Garden Lime can be used throughout the year, but the manufacturer recommends autumn before the first frosts for best results.

For normal soils, apply every third year. Highly acidic soils may require annual treatment, guided by soil conditions and pH testing.

Calcium & Magnesium

Westland Garden Lime provides both calcium and magnesium.

Calcium contributes to healthy plant development and fruit quality, while magnesium supports strong, green leaf growth. More importantly, correcting excessively acidic soil helps make existing nutrients more readily available to plant roots.

Lawn Use

Westland confirms that Garden Lime can also be used on lawns where there is a recognised need for liming.

Correcting acidic soil conditions can help improve soil structure and drainage while supporting more effective nutrient uptake by the grass.

Perfect For

• Acidic garden soils requiring liming

• Improving nutrient availability

• Heavy soils requiring structural improvement

• Lawns where soil conditions indicate a need for lime

• Supporting healthy foliage and plant development

• Gardens where soil pH testing shows excessive acidity

Good to Know

Do not apply Garden Lime around ericaceous, lime-hating plants. These include plants that naturally prefer acidic growing conditions.

The manufacturer also advises not to apply it around vegetables.

Garden Lime is not something to apply routinely simply as a general fertiliser. Use it where soil conditions indicate a genuine need to reduce acidity, and do not increase the dose beyond the appropriate application rate.

If too much is accidentally applied, water the area heavily to help dissolve and wash through the excess product.

Safety & Storage

Apply evenly and avoid getting the granules onto plant stems or foliage.

Gloves are recommended when handling the product. Wash hands and exposed skin after use.

Store in a dry, frost-free place, away from children, pets and foodstuffs.

Children and pets can return to treated areas immediately after application.

Always read and follow the instructions on the product packaging before use.
