FAQS
How long after spraying weeds etc. should I wait before I fertilise with Equi-lise?
You should allow enough time for sprays to work effectively before applying—timing depends on the specific chemical used.
What is Equi-lise and what is in it?
Equi-lise is a pelletised lime product designed for horse pastures. It contains finely ground lime combined with nutrients, pressed into pellets for easy and effective application.
Why should I use Equi-lise?
It improves soil health, balances pH, and helps produce better-quality pasture for horses. The pellet form makes it more efficient and easier to apply than traditional lime.
How much does Equi-lise cost and where can I buy it?
Pricing isn’t fixed publicly and can vary. It’s typically purchased directly through CPLime Solutions or their distributors.
When is the best time to apply Equi-lise?
It can be applied year-round, but optimal times are when soil conditions allow good absorption—commonly spring or autumn.
How often do I need to apply Equi-lise?
Applications depend on soil condition, but it’s generally used as part of a regular pasture maintenance programme rather than a one-off fix.
Why is my horse pasture sour or hot?
This is usually caused by low soil pH (acidity), nutrient imbalance, and buildup of waste (e.g. urine/dung), which affects pasture quality.
What is the recommended spread rate and how much do I need for my paddocks?
The typical recommended rate is around 250kg per hectare, though exact amounts depend on your soil test and paddock condition.
How do I apply Equi-lise?
It’s spread using standard fertiliser spreading equipment. The pellet form allows even and accurate distribution.
Would Equi-lise be harmful to my animals if they accidentally ate the pellets?
No—it's designed to be safe for use around horses, including incidental ingestion.
Is Equi-lise good to use on soured paddocks?
Yes—it’s specifically designed to help correct sour (acidic) paddocks and improve pasture conditions.
How can an application of 250kg/ha work when I usually apply aglime at 2.5t/ha?
Because Equi-lise is finely ground and pelletised, it reacts more efficiently in the soil, meaning far less product is needed to achieve results.
If aglime lasts longer, why should I use Equi-lise?
Equi-lise works faster and is easier to apply. While aglime may last longer, it takes more time and higher volumes to become effective.
Can I use Equi-lise with other fertilisers?
Yes, it can be used alongside other fertilisers as part of a broader pasture management plan.
How much will the freight cost and can I have Equi-lise delivered to my place?
Delivery is available, and freight costs depend on your location and order size.
Aglime is cheaper, why should I buy Equi-lise?
Although aglime is cheaper upfront, Equi-lise requires much lower application rates, works faster, and is easier to handle—often making it more cost-effective overall.
