Dolomite flour is an effective preparation.

However, much more of these components will be required.

If the area is small

If you need to reduce acidity levels locally on a small area of land, then you should pay attention to eggshell powder.

This will not only reduce the acidity level, but will also make the soil incredibly fertile.

However, the powder should not be used frequently. Otherwise, it can cause harm to crops.
