MAG-I-CAL’s fine particles break-down quickly in the soil and is formulated for superior performance to help improve fertilizer efficiency. Your soil is considered alkaline if it reads between 7 – 14 on the pH scale. Standard fertilizer programs are not enough to get a beautiful lawn. They don’t address the long-term health of the soil, particularly soil pH. Plants growing with improper soil pH levels will not thrive because certain nutrients become \"tied-up\" in the soil and are unavailable to the plants. Lowering soil pH may take a number of applications to reach desirable levels. A gradual reduction in soil pH is preferred because a dramatic reduction can result in plant stress. Applying MAG-I-CAL helps balance the soil pH and, at the same time, helps the lawn to grow greener and healthier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e20 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCovers up to 5,000 Sq. ft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eFor lawns in alkaline soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHelps lower soil pH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUse in place of sulfur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eReduces soil alkalinity for thicker, healthier lawns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eLawn Food works better when soil pH is balanced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #800000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to apply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eApply to a dry lawn before a rain or water in.
