Calcitic granular limestone. This will be the most commonly used liming material.
Dolomitic granular limestone. Use dolomitic lime sources only if magnesium is called for from soil tests.

Update on the Kent County Commercial Horticulture Blog
I started this blog several years ago to deliver timely information to horticultural producers and professionals in Kent County. I took great pride in updating the blog daily with the most current information. In 2010, I took a new position within the University of Delaware as the Extension Vegetable and Fruit Specialist for the University and will not be posting on this blog any more. The blog will remain up as a resource but no updates or new information will be added. For current recommendations contact your county extension office.
