DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Gardens: Bonide’s Hydrated Lime can be
applied anytime during the growing season. Test
soil pH level. Use the results of your soil test to
determine how much you wish to change the pH
level of your soil. A soil pH level of 6.5 is best for
most gardens. Generally, 3.5 lbs. of Hydrated
Lime per 70 sq. ft. will raise the pH unit measure
one point on the pH scale. Wearing gardening
gloves, work in Bonide’s Hydrated Lime around
each plant. Do not mix with fertilizers before
using. Water normally.
Potted Plants: Once a year, mix one (1) table-
spoon of Bonide’s Hydrated Lime in one gallon
of water and apply as you would normally water.
Hydrated Lime quickly raises soil pH (the measure of
the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil).
Adjusting the soil to the proper pH helps plants to
grow and strengthen by making it easier for the plant
roots to take up nutrients in the soil.
A pH of 6.5 to 7.0 is considered by many to be “neu-
tral”. However, each type of plant has a soil pH that
is right for that plant. A soil pH range of 5.8 to 7.0 is
considered suitable for most garden crops and lawns.
A soil test should be performed prior to using
Hydrated Lime to establish the correct amount to
use.
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY.

ture with other chemicals not specifically recommended and other
