We mine and process our dolomitic lime at Bridgetown Quarry.
Dolomite is an organic agricultural soil fertiliser. The difference between calcitic and dolomitic lime, is that dolomitic lime is a source of magnesium and therefore can be used for soil that is in need of magnesium and it can neutralise acidic soil.
Therefore it is also important to check the % CCE (Calcium Carbonate Equivalent) and % Mg on a product analysis.
Dolomite is a soil improver, especially where there is a shortage of magnesium. Magnesium is the central element in the chlorophyll of the leaves of crops and it improves the energy status of the whole plant. Therefore magnesium is vital for overall plant health as well as improving soil conditions for increased crop production.
We source natural gypsum from the Bushmanland in the Northern Cape and West Coast and manufacture our own mixture to supply the market with the best and most cost-effective product for agricultural soil treatment.
Our processed gypsum is used as an organic agricultural soil fertiliser.
Gypsum has many advantages to soil and crops.
We've developed a new product through testing, research, and demand, called Gypsum 3:1 mix. The mixture consists of West Coast and Boesmanland gypsum.
The combination of the West Coast gypsum's heavier material content and moisture percentage and the finely powdered and dry Boesmanland gypsum produces the perfect ratio.
The composition of the product can be viewed here.
