Maintaining a healthy lawn and garden requires striking a delicate balance in the soil’s chemistry. While certain fertilizers can help achieve the ideal gardening balance, most people don’t know that not all fertilizers are interchangeable. When a soil’s pH is too low, it needs a fertilizer that can help equalize these levels; however, it’s important to consult with a gardening expert before deciding on which products to use.

The Garden Exchange in Hilo, HI, has been the island’s most trusted gardening store since 1964. Family-owned and operated, the Garden Exchange works to provide the best seeds, pots, soil, fertilizers, potted plants, and garden tools for the best price. However, the Garden Exchange has built its reputation not just for the high-quality products they offer, but for the expertise and advice they give customers as well.

One of the most popular fertilizers the Garden Exchange recommends for raising the pH balance in your soil is the Dolomite AG 10 and the Dolomite AG 65 platform of products. The difference between the AG 10 and the AG 65 is that the AG 10 has a coarser grind, but they both work by releasing lime into the soil. Lime contains calcium and magnesium, which work to steadily raise soil pH to healthy levels.

The Garden Exchange is currently offering a 50-pound bag of the Dolomite AG 10 for $11.50 and a 50-pound bag of the Dolomite AG 65 for $10.75. They also have a number of other fertilizer options, insecticides, herbicides, and other gardening tools to ensure your yard looks great throughout the year.
