Superfine AgLime – Screened Fine Lime (Calcium Carbonate)
Superfine AgLime is a high-quality, finely screened lime amendment crafted for professional growers and home gardeners alike.
It improves soil structure, enhances nutrient uptake, and strengthens long-term sustainability in organic and biological growing systems.
Perfect for soil conditioning, pH correction, calcium supplementation, and supporting beneficial soil biology.
Sourced from local Otago quarries and milled to an ultra-fine grade for superior performance.
How It Works
- Increases soil pH in acidic conditions
- Enhances calcium availability for stronger plant cell structure
- Reduces aluminium toxicity in soils
- Supports beneficial soil micro- and macro-organisms
- Improves water retention and nutrient uptake
- Works gradually to buffer and stabilise soil chemistry
- Ultra-fine particles improve reactivity and distribution
Benefits:
- 90% calcium carbonate
- Corrects acidic soils
- Improves nutrient uptake
- Supports beneficial soil microbes
- Reduces metal toxicity (e.g., aluminium)
- Enhances soil structure & long-term fertility
- Ultra-fine grade passes 100µm mesh
- Ideal for gardens, compost systems & soil building
- Locally sourced from Otago quarries
Recommended Use Rates:
Perform a soil test for optimum levels.
Use as a calcium source or to raise soil pH.

Apply ½ cup per square metre (approx. 130g)
Mix into the soil and water in.
Established Plants
Topdress ¾ cup per square metre (approx. 195g)
Lightly incorporate and water thoroughly.
Compost Systems
Add ¼ cup per layer of compost (approx. 65g)
Helps neutralise acidity and support decomposition.
