Advertorial

Everyone has heard the old saying, “ Aglime works 1/3 each year for 3 years. ” Where did this saying come from, and is it true today? The Midwest has been studying aglime for decades. This is research we continue to rely on today, but the aglime from there is much more coarse. The images on the right are actual aglime samples from Blue Mtn, CA (on the left) and Nokomis, IL. Each compartment has a wire mesh between it, the number indicates the size. A size 4 mesh has 16 openings in one square inch (4 across and 4 down). The material above that mesh is retained. The material below passes through the mesh. The largest of particle sizes shown in the sample on the right, equal 50% of the product. The material retained on mesh sizes 4, 8 & 30 are ineffective within 3 years. Particle size determines how quickly an aglime reacts, the old saying is not an accurate way to describe aglime’s efficiency. The Western Fertilizer Handbook, states, for aglime to be 100% efficient it must be at least 60 Mesh.
