Product description:For soil and leaf liming.Algenkalk-Aktiv - microfine powder for soil and leaf Dr. Stähler Algenkalk-Aktiv consists of 100% natural fossil marine deposits of algae. It contains microfine calcium carbonate with a very high reactivity of more than 80%. It can be implemented immediately and easily in the soil and forms a well-adherent, microfine coating during leaf liming.Algae lime active stabilises the pH value of the soil, improves the availability of many nutrients in the soil and promotes favourable living conditions for beneficial soil microorganisms. In addition, the soil structure is improved by the formation of stable crumb structures. Also ideal for compost production. Leaf liming provides new vitality for weakened plants such as boxwood.Soil activation with Algenkalk-Aktiv can be carried out at any time of the year. The best times for flowers, lawns, vegetable beds, trees and shrubs are autumn, winter and spring. In our gardens, healthy growth of plants is not possible without lime. Every year, 1 m2 of garden soil consumes up to 70 g of lime, partly by ingesting the plants, partly by leaching.Application:for: Soil and leaf limingProperties:for soil and leaf liming consists of 100% fossil marine deposits, which come from algae contains microfine calcium carbonate it is immediately and easily convertible in the soil forms a well-adherent, microfine coating for the purpose of soil activation for the purpose of soil activation, it can be used in all seasons for a natural and healthy plant nutrition against soil acidificationInstructions for use:Dr. Stähler Algenkalk-Aktiv can be spread evenly by hand on garden soils all year round. Subsequent incorporation into the soil is advantageous. The addition of lime depends on the pH value of the soil. A soil test (a soil tester from the specialist trade or testing institutes of the federal states) helps here. Lid content coated approx. 35 g. The following expenditure is to be assessed for regular lime applications (maintenance liming): 50 g/m2 once a year for light soil (sandy), 80 g/m2 once a year for heavy soil (loamy). For liming acidic soils (pH value below 5.5): 100 g/m2 for light soil (sandy) and 250 g/m2 for heavy soil (loamy). For leaf liming: Sprinkle on the leaves in spring. Boxwood: Pollinate leaves at the end of April to the beginning of May. In the case of prolonged drought, a short irrigation can help to wash the algal lime into the inside of the plant. Do not use on lime-sensitive plants such as bog bed plants. Store in a dry place.
