{"product_id":"trucal","title":"Trucal 25kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrucal granular limestone is precision-crushed and screened to create a uniform, fine material that offers excellent coverage and performance when applied. Composed of 99% calcium carbonate, it is ideal for adjusting soil pH to improve nutrient availability and soil structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil naturally becomes more acidic over time due to factors such as rainfall and the application of fertilisers. As acidity rises, essential nutrients become less accessible to plants, which can impact their growth and vitality. Trucal works to restore balance by naturally neutralising acidity, reducing the presence of free hydrogen ions in the soil. While certain plants, such as potatoes and hydrangeas, thrive in more acidic environments, most edible and ornamental plants perform better in soils with a higher pH. Typically, a pH level of around 6.5 is considered optimal for a wide range of garden plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a neutralising value of 55.6% and a fine particle size, Trucal begins correcting soil acidity more quickly than coarser liming materials, delivering faster and more effective results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Summary Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGranule Size (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBag Size (kg)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication rate (g\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBag Coverage (m²)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6 - 1.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50-1000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25-500\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere to use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrnamental garden plants:\u003ci\u003e Any plants that are not intend for consumption, including plants grown in private gardens\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdible crops:\u003ci\u003e Any plants that are intended for consumption\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmenity vegetation:\u003ci\u003e Any areas of semi natural or ornamental vegetation, including trees\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManaged amenity turf: \u003ci\u003eAreas of frequently mown intensively managed turf, including:\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eFields being used for turf production\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll types of sports turf\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrnamental turf\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen to use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrucal should ideally be incorporated into the soil up to six months prior to seeding to give time for the neutralisation process to occur.
