"5 gallons yields equivalent of one ton of agricultural lime" according to the web site seems like a "too good to be true" claim. Might depend on the ag lime because there are vast differences in ag lime since it is simply ground up rock. Pureness and the fineness of grind determine both the quantity of acidity it can offset and the speed of action.

In ag lime, the finer the grind the quicker it will act in the soil so it is given a higher neutralizing rating. But also the fine grind tends to not last as long as an amendment. In other words more coarse particles take longer to break down so will tend to have a longer life before liming needs to be done again.

My guess is the liquid probably reacts very quickly but may have to be added more often than if ag lime were used. But that is just a guess. I'm no chemist.

Would be great if it does work as advertised. Have any idea on the cost?
