Description

Oldcastle Pro-Select Dolomitic Pulverized Limestone is a dolomitic limestone soil amendment for lawns and gardens, made to correct soil pH and address soil acidity so plants can access nutrients more effectively.

This garden lime is a fine, pulverized limestone product built for straightforward soil conditioning when you’re working with acidic ground. By helping neutralize acidity, it supports a more balanced root-zone environment and can improve overall nutrient availability in the soil. It’s a practical fit for gardeners and turf managers who want a dependable, professional-grade liming material without turning their soil program into something complicated.

Because it’s dolomitic limestone, it also contributes the secondary elements calcium and magnesium—two nutrients many soils rely on for strong structure and steady plant development. Calcium plays a key role in soil structure and root function, while magnesium supports core plant processes tied to healthy green growth. Together, these benefits make Oldcastle Pro-Select Dolomitic Pulverized Limestone a solid option when you’re aiming for steadier performance from your existing fertilization plan, especially in areas where acidity can hold plants back.

Oldcastle Pro-Select is positioned as an economical acid soil amendment that still delivers professional results for turf and ornamental landscapes. It’s often chosen for broad lawn and garden coverage where consistent soil pH correction matters over time, and where growers want a natural limestone input that integrates cleanly into standard soil care routines. If you’ve been seeing signs that your soil is trending acidic—like reduced vigor, uneven growth, or difficulty maintaining consistent performance—this type of pulverized dolomitic limestone is a targeted way to bring the soil back toward a more workable range.

Facts layer: this is a dolomitic limestone product, built from limestone carbonates associated with calcium and magnesium (including calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate). Those carbonate minerals are what provide the liming action and the calcium-and-magnesium contribution that makes dolomitic lime distinct from calcitic lime.

This product is a good fit for growers and landscapers who want a lawn and garden lime focused on soil pH correction, soil acidity neutralization, and calcium and magnesium support—especially in outdoor soil-based setups where long-term soil conditioning is part of the goal.

How To Use

How to Use Dolomitic Limestone With a Basic Soil pH Tester

Check your soil pH first
Use your soil pH tester in a few spots (not just one). Soil pH can vary across a lawn or garden bed, so taking multiple readings gives you a more reliable average.

Decide if you actually need to raise pH
If your pH is already in a good range for what you’re growing, you may not need to add anything. If your pH reads too acidic, this type of soil amendment is typically used to gently move pH upward over time.

Apply a small amount first (don’t try to “fix it” in one shot)
Because a basic pH tester doesn’t calculate an application rate, the best method is gradual adjustment:
Spread a light, even layer over the area (or mix a small amount into potting mix for containers).
Avoid heavy piles or thick coverage in one spot.

Water in and wait
Water helps move it into the root zone and begins the soil change process. pH adjustment isn’t instant—soil takes time to respond.

Re-test later, then adjust if needed
After it has had time to work, re-test your soil pH again:
If the pH is moving in the right direction but still low, you can repeat a light application.
If the pH has reached a healthy range, stop and maintain.

Avoid over-correcting
Raising pH too much can create new nutrient issues. The “apply a little and re-test” method keeps your garden in the safe zone and helps you dial in results over time.

Best practices for different gardening uses

Lawns
Apply evenly using a spreader for consistent coverage.
Re-test in different spots before re-applying.

Garden beds & raised beds
If you’re prepping a bed, mixing into the top layer gives more consistent results.
If plants are already growing, apply lightly to the surface and water in.

Containers & potting mix
Mix thoroughly through the potting mix (don’t leave it layered).
Adjust slowly and re-test—containers can change pH faster than outdoor soil.

Warnings & Safety

Warning – Important Safety Information

This product may cause mild skin irritation and eye irritation. Avoid unnecessary contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use only as directed.

General safety precautions

Read and follow all instructions on the product label and any accompanying documentation before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, or dust that may be generated during handling or use.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as protective gloves, long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe footwear. When there is a risk of splashing or airborne particles, use safety glasses or other suitable eye and face protection.

First aid – skin contact

IF ON SKIN OR HAIR: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Rinse skin with clean water for several minutes, then wash with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

First aid – eye contact

IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with clean water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice.

First aid – ingestion and inhalation

IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.

IF INHALED: Move the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing. If coughing, breathing difficulty, dizziness or other symptoms occur, seek medical assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is calcium important for plant growth?

Calcium is important because it builds and stabilizes plant cells as they form, acting as the structural support that keeps new growth strong and functional. Unlike other nutrients that drive color or speed of growth, calcium’s role is unique because it controls cell wall strength and membrane stability, making it essential for healthy roots, shoots, and long-term plant resilience rather than quick visual results.

What does dolomite do for plants in the root zone?

Dolomite gently raises and stabilizes pH while supplying calcium and magnesium, helping roots absorb nutrients more consistently and supporting strong new growth and greener leaves. It’s unique because it buffers acidity and feeds two key minerals at the same time, unlike materials that only change pH or only provide a single nutrient.

Why is neutralizing value (CaCO3) important in plant growing?

Neutralizing value (CaCO3) is important because it tells you how strongly a material can neutralize acidity and stabilize root-zone pH, which directly controls nutrient availability and healthy root function—and it’s unique because it measures long-term acid-neutralizing capacity, not just a single pH reading.

What does “passes 10 mesh” mean for a garden soil amendment?

It means the material is processed to a more uniform particle size, which helps it spread more evenly, mix into soil more consistently, and perform more predictably across garden beds, lawns, and planting areas.

What does “passes 100 mesh” mean and why do gardeners care?

It indicates a portion of the material is very finely processed, which increases surface area—often helping the amendment begin working sooner in the soil and creating faster, more noticeable improvements in the root zone.

What are common signs of magnesium deficiency in plants?

A classic sign is yellowing between the leaf veins (often called interveinal chlorosis), usually starting on older leaves first. In more advanced cases, leaves may look pale, weak, or begin to decline as the plant struggles to maintain healthy growth.
