New gardens: 1 to 1.5 lb per 100 sq ft. Trees and shrubs: 1\/2 to 1 lb per 1 inch of trunk diameter around the base. Most garden plants prefer a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0, so a soil analysis or home pH test kit is recommended before applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calcium carbonate (derived from limestone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium (Ca):\u003c\/strong\u003e 34%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium carbonate (CaCO3):\u003c\/strong\u003e 86%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium carbonate equivalent (CCE):\u003c\/strong\u003e 90%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic status:\u003c\/strong\u003e OMRI Listed; CDFA approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 lb box (approx. 10 cups; 2 cups is about 1 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"sku-info\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel # \/ SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100543953\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Down To Earth","offers":[{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":46232823824575,"sku":"100543953","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/9334\/4191\/files\/dte-8626826084543-800.jpg?v=1791163454","url":"https:\/\/www.dsgardensupplies.com\/products\/down-to-earth-garden-lime","provider":"DS Garden Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
