Description
Wincal Slow Release Limestone
WinCal is a residual product of the drinking water softening process in drinking water production plants.
WinCal is a slow-release lime-based fertiliser.
Its high calcium carbonate content neutralises soil acids and raises the pH.
The pH is particularly important for the availability of certain nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphates.
Regular liming is therefore crucial for a healthy crop.
Excess magnesium can damage soil structure.
Therefore, thanks to its low magnesium oxide content,
WinCal is ideal for soils with excess magnesium.
