“Our yield was doubled compared to what we would have had every other year, it’s a must for us!” 🌱

For Clare and Gabriel Kelly in Trillick, Co. Tyrone, low soil pH was holding back the return they were getting from fertiliser.

Farming wet, challenging ground with a suckler herd, they wanted to make their farm more productive, more cost-efficient and more sustainable. After carrying out soil sampling, they realised correcting pH had to be the priority. 🚜

That’s where G-Lime came in.

Easy to apply with their own fertiliser spreader, G-Lime gave the Kellys the flexibility to spread when conditions suited, without waiting on contractors or struggling with quarry lime on difficult ground. ✅

As Clare and Gabriel put it:

“We got an instant hit from G-Lime, we didn’t have to wait a few years.”

Still spreading fertiliser without checking your pH? You could be wasting more than you think 💭

When soil pH is too low, your fertiliser simply can’t work as efficiently as it should. For grassland, the target pH is around 6.5. Drop below that, and key nutrients become harder for your crop to access.

At pH 6.0, phosphorus availability can fall by up to 48%, with nitrogen losses of at least 11%. That’s valuable input going to waste.

By applying G-Lime, you can help correct soil pH, improve nutrient availability and get more from every tonne of fertiliser you apply this summer.

Less waste. Better efficiency. Stronger return from your soil ✅

Soil pH and earthworms are more connected than many farmers realise 🤝

Earthworms thrive in soils with a near-neutral pH, where nutrients are more available and microbial activity can do its job properly. But when soils become too acidic, earthworm activity can decline 🪱

That matters because acidic soils can reduce earthworm density and diversity, while also making it harder for soil biology to function at its best. In some cases, calcium deficiency and aluminium toxicity can interfere with earthworm metabolism and reproduction.

For farmers across the UK and Ireland, this is especially important.
High rainfall and regular nitrogen fertiliser use can both contribute to soil acidification.

The result? Soils can fall below the optimum pH range, limiting earthworm activity and reducing nutrient availability.The good news is that soil pH is something you can manage 👍
