Pennington Fast Acting Lime Plus Soil Conditioner Mineral Supplement, 30 lbs.

I am a beginner farmer and have been doing soil samples every quarter for the past two years. I send my soil samples to the same lab every quarter. I used regular lime and basically saw nothing happened on my ph level for a year. I used this product and followed the directions for 20k so feet and I added two more bags. three month's later my soil ph had gone from a 5.5 to a 6.2....in 3 months. I will be using this product again. I love it!

All these "it's sticky", "what does AST even mean" reviews ... C'mon. It's fast acting lime like fast acting fertilizer -- water soluble, not slow release water insoluble like dolomitic lime. That "it's sticky", well ... that's AST that helps a water soluble application bind/hold/stay to/in the soil, like Bentonite, so it doesn't just flush, wick away. This stuff is amazing! Personally, my soils went from a 5.0 pH to 6.0pH in 8 days after watering in and 1 day of 0.70" rain 2 days later. I added 9 more lbs. to the area and 10 days later -- BOOM, pH was 6.5 (10 test cores at 4" deep). As for the sticky ... yeah, it's slick, not "sticky." I want it that way so it doesn't just wick right through my soils. Just know that and clean accordingly. It's no big deal -- at all.
