Is this the same thing as pulverized limestone, & can it be used in an outdoor cat litter box? Thanks!

I would not add this to your litter box (indoor or outdoors). I don’t really know what a outdoor litter box is but lime is caustic to eyes and skin including kitty paws and sensitive parts if it touches it and if it gets wet. If it gets in their eyes, it can put cause great pain and blindness. This is for using on lawns and gardens. Also this is prilled…it is not pulverized. Pulverized is ground raw product. Prilled is similar to granular - it’s an extruded product. Think of rice. Note — lime usually takes months to work - particularly the prilled and granular. Pulverized works a little faster. But it will be thrown out months before it does any good in a litter box. Even in the barn where we use lime on urine soaked spots to dry it up and reduce the acidity — you have to cover it with 6-8”+ shavings or sawdust so horses, cattle, goats, etc won’t get it on their skin, in their eyes, etc. Just buy a decent brand kitty litter that has baking soda in it or add your own. Baking soda increases alkalinity thus lowering acidity. Better clean your box after each use by the cat or at least 3 times a day. We do and don’t have any smell but then we use a high quality brand. In addition, if you want to use for your lawn to raise the pH, help the lawn grow better and reduce weed pressure — put it on like in the fall so it’s working well by spring when grass starts into full growth. That said, you should have your lawn tested to see what it needs. This product is dolomite lime meaning it provides both calcium and magnesium while raising the pH or the alkalinity if the soil. Non-dolomite regular garden lime just raises the pH and provides calcium, but no magnesium. You can over lime and you don’t want to use it on plants that it will be harmful to. If your soil becomes overlimed — you will have difficulty growing anything in it for years and years depending on how bad. For example you wouldn’t lime azaleas, rhodies, blueberries. Etc. If you need to add calcium but the pH is correct — you would add gypsum. If you need magnesium (plants are showing magnesium deficiency) then spray with 1 tablespoon plain Epson salts per gallon of water. You can get test kits and testing from your local County extension service. The test will be done by your state agricultural university. Usually runs $10 per test. They will give you the test kit which includes the box, form, and instructions which you mail off. Let me advise — the test results are only as good as the prepared samples. Follow the directions. They will come back and tell you what you need to have to raise a great lawn, or garden. You will want to prepare a sample for each area, ie. Lawn, vegetable garden, azalea bed, rose bed, etc. You need to group plants with like pH needs — it’s not like you can grow great blueberries in a great lawn. Lawn needs pH of 7-7.2 where blueberries need 4-5 maybe a little lower.

May I use this in containers/pots, if so in what ratios per gallon?

Used to sweeten and hold ph in a deseriable range when growing in peat substrate, or any lower ph soil mix. This Can absolutely be used in containers, indoor or outdoor. and I wouldn't grow wo it. Also adds cal and mag slowly just good stuff. Apply at 1 tablespoon per gallon soil mix thoroughly.

What is the ph of this?

Lime is used to raise and stabilize the ph in soil.

Actually Works!!

Was skeptical about purchasing wasn’t sure if it took awhile to activate in my soil to raise PH . I am shockingly surprised at how fast it actually raised my soil PH using Fox Farm ocean forest, happy frog, strawberry fields. On the packaging of the soils it’s says PH at 6.5 but when testing with my Apera PH Soil tester PH is coming out at about 4.7-5.3 . Dolomite Lime raised the soil after applying and watering my soil to 5.7-6.0 almost instantly. Thought it was going to take weeks or months no almost instant after applying 1cup to my bin of soil . Recommend 100% Going to test soil again in a week to see if PH stay constant or fluctuate .

I feel like a master gardener or a mad scientist mixing up my soil mixes now.

Very nicely prilled... yeah i don't know what that means either. I just wanted to fortify the soil with a little calcium and manganesium... 6oz to a bag of cactus soil, 1 cubic foot. I started adding vinegar to the water too so let's all hope it makes a difference. Smarter growers than me swear by it.

Works, but Strong smell

Works well for aroids, gives them a nice nutrient boost for the minerals that a lot of common fertilizers lack. The smell is quite strong, after opening I had to seal in a bigger ziploc bag just to keep it contained. If you’re only using small amounts here and there, the smell is unnoticeable, but definitely keep it sealed up when you’re not using it. Other than that good produce 👍

Good Stuff

This worked great for raising my soil PH and saving my grow. I used 1 tbsp per gallon of soil. It corrected my soil PH within a few days.

This stuff WORKS slow and steady.

Needed some Dolomite LIME for my plants but had no clue what 'Prilled' meant > It means 'pelletized'. I'd had Dolomite lime before - it came as a dusty powder that got on my face and in my nose so when I realized this stuff was small pellets I got it (after reading the fine print and directions).I have some Alpine Rock Garden Plants that prefer a calcium rich/limey soil. Mine is neutral to Acid soil. Also it had been unusually wet for months and the moss and liverworts were thriving. SO... that was another reason to get this Dolomite Lime.Works just fine. The pellets are nice and slow to release the Calcium and Magnesium etc., and the Alpines (Saxifrages) love it. In fact, the Kabschia are STILL flowering thru the snow. The mosses have retreated as have the liverworts.So all's well in this little part of the plant world.Recommend this.
