Aragonite and calcite are two minerals formed from calcium carbonate (CaCO. Lime (calcium oxide) is produced by heating limestone or seashells (calcium carbonate). The chemistry of calcium carbonate is similar to that of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate except that calcium carbonate is not soluble in water.
According to chemical definition, lime is calcium oxide (CaO). In agriculture, lime is usually defined as calcium or calcium-magnesium containing compounds capable of reducing harmful effects of an acid soil by neutralizing soil acidity and raising the soil pH. 2.heck the soil pH first. If the soil pH is 6.5 or above, donât apply wood ashes. When lime is required, apply up to double the lime requirement every three years. For example, if the lime requirement is 3 tons/acre, limit the application of wood ashes to six tons in a three-year period.
