If a gardener needs to balance the pH level of the soil, he most often resorts to such an affordable tool as dolomite flour.

In addition to its ability to deoxidize the soil, this composition is famous for the fact that it can act as an effective fertilizer.

This is explained by the fact that dolomite contains a large amount of magnesium and calcium.

As a bonus, dolomite flour has also proven itself to be an excellent pest control agent.

In addition, the product is classified as environmentally friendly and is not capable of causing harm to plants or humans.

The instructions for using dolomite to deoxidize a plot are not complicated - you only need to evenly sprinkle the flour over the surface of the beds and loosen the soil.

However, there is another, no less common way to achieve the desired result, and it consists of using lime.

It is worth noting that liming is an aggressive procedure that should be carried out exclusively with gloves. Do not forget to fertilize the area next spring, since the preparation destroys not only harmful but also beneficial bacteria.
