Agricultural lime is a completely natural way to improve your pastures health with no adverse affects to your surrounding environment.
The primary reason for applying Agricultural lime is to increase your soil PH, that in turn offers the following benefits:
Increased pasture production, which leads to increased animal live weights.
Liming unlocks the full potential of your fertiliser programme, at optimal PH levels your phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen and other trace elements become available to your plant matter, these would otherwise remain unavailable in acidic soils.
Ag Lime is a low cost option for increasing pasture growth, in lean times it will give you great results at a fraction of the cost of other fertilisers.
Ag Lime assist with drainage by improving soil structure by improving the tilth and crumb formations.
Ag Lime sweetens the soil often making pastures more palatable to stock.
Lime stimulates growth in legumes and clovers.
Ag lime can reduce stock health problems by providing better more available grazing creating a healthier environment.
Ag Lime promotes worm and bacteria activity necessary for maintaining healthy soil.
Calving cows must not be put on limed pastures for up to two weeks after lime spreading.

Websters Lime is unique in Hawkes Bay as we are able to offer Burnt Lime for soil and road stabilisation.
Lime stabilisation has been around for centuries; it is an efficient and cost effective way to improve the workability and load bearing characteristics of your farm track or driveway.
The two main benefits in lime stabilisation is the drying effect it has on wet soils commonly utilised in the building industry on wet access roads and building pads reducing their down time, and the most important, substantially increasing the load bearing characteristics of your subgrade while still maintaining a level of flexibility, particularly effective on clay soils typical in Hawkes Bay.
A stabilised driveway will dramatically increase the durability of your sub base and surface layers.

Fine Ground limestone or Lime flour comes from the same high quality limestone as our Ag Lime but it is ground to a top size of 100 microns, the fine nature of the products means it has a higher reactivity rate becoming available to plant matter immediately offering an initial “punch” to your PH levels.
This product is idea for pastures that are in need of immediate PH lift or if you only require a short burst for crop rotation. It is applied as a liquid fertiliser typically with other elements, to have a quick impact on your pasture growth and cropping programmes.
At Websters we supply Lime Flour to the dairy industry to prevent milk fever immediately after calving. To prevent Milk fever start dosing immediately after calving for at least 4 days (colostrum period) and as long as several weeks or moths. The dose rate is generally 100-300g per cow per day.
To use as a drench mix one part fine Lime Flour with four parts water stir regularly and flush equipment after use.
To dose calcium deficient cows Lime Flour can be added t maze or field cereals at a rate of 50-300g per cow per day or add to the feed at a rate of 60-100 per Kg of feed on a wet basis.
******* Do not feed to Cows in their last two months of pregnancy*******
Lime flour is used extensively for industrial applications, such as in glues, polymers, fillers and paints etc.
