Recently, many gardeners and gardeners have been complaining that acidity is increasing in the soil. This is due to the fact that more and more waste is thrown into the air and water from enterprises, which then fall into the ground. In order to lower the acidity of the soil, you can use several types of fertilizers, among which dolomite flour is very popular, which is made from a material such as dolomite. This flour is made by grinding this mineral.
Among the advantages of dolomite flour are the following points:
- a small amount of such fertilizer should be used per square meter;
- it is an environmentally friendly material, so the soil will not be polluted;
- it is inexpensive, so any gardener and gardener can buy it.
Lime and ash can also be used as fertilizer to reduce soil acidity. But 1 square meter of these elements will require 2 times more than dolomite flour.
Dolomite contains a very high percentage of calcium. Many gardeners know that soil chemistry deteriorates over time. Depending on which plants are planted, the acidity of the soil can be faster or slower, but still increase. Therefore, with the help of dolomite flour, the acidity of the soil (the required level of both hydrogen and calcium ions) can be maintained at the same level. The versatility of this fertilizer lies in the fact that it can be added to the soil not only before planting various crops, but almost at any time of the year. Moreover, dolomite flour is suitable for growing fruits and vegetables, grains and flowers.
But in addition to agriculture, dolomite flour is widely used in the construction sector, in metallurgy, in the glass industry. Surprisingly, it is also used in the manufacture of food such as sugar. Builders love crushed dolomite for the shape of its crystals. Crystals are obtained in the form of a cube, so this material is more profitable to use in the manufacture of solutions and mixtures than sand. Today, the best dry mixes are those that include dolomite flour. Crushed dolomite is used for the manufacture of mastics and sealants, linoleum and paints and varnishes. Dolomite flour is also used in the manufacture of such insulation as mineral wool.
