Jonathan Green Mag-I-Cal Plus Soil Food is a granular soil amendment designed for acidic and hard-packed soils. When soil pH drops below the ideal range of 6.2 to 7.0, grass becomes light green and spindly while weeds flourish. Dense, compacted soil also prevents air, water, and nutrients from reaching grass roots, making it difficult for turf to establish strong growth.
Mag-I-Cal Plus delivers readily available calcium carbonate in a completely soluble form that rapidly adjusts soil pH upward and improves root development. The formula also helps break up clay and compacted soils, improving root penetration and promoting growth by increasing biological activity and releasing nutrients trapped in the soil. This 54 lb. bag covers up to 15,000 square feet and is suitable for all grass types. It can be safely applied when seeding or sodding and is best used during the growing season when soil is not frozen.
Features and Benefits
- Rapid pH Adjustment: Soluble calcium carbonate immediately raises soil pH to the optimal range for grass growth, preventing the weak, light-green appearance caused by acidic conditions.
- Breaks Up Compacted Soil: Helps loosen hard-packed and clay soils, allowing roots to penetrate deeper and water and nutrients to reach the grass plant.
- Activates Soil Microbes: The formula feeds and activates beneficial soil microorganisms that improve nutrient availability and soil structure.
- Maximizes Nutrient Absorption: By improving soil conditions and pH balance, it enables grass to absorb lawn food nutrients more efficiently.
- Safe During Establishment: Can be applied when seeding or sodding without harming new grass.
