  Gardens and Landscapes: For reducing soil acidity, broadcast and incorporate 0.5 - 6.75 kg per 10 m2 (1 - 13.8 lbs per 100 ft2). For equal pH adjustment sandy soils require a lower rate compared to clay soils and those high in organic matter. Consult an agronomist to determine appropriate rates for your garden soil.
