Crystal Structure
Aragonite crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure — denser and more soluble than the trigonal structure of calcite, the mineral form found in standard agricultural lime. That structural difference is what makes aragonite's calcium more readily available to plant roots.
The Science of Aragonite
Marine Origin
Sourced from shallow Bahamian oolitic shoals, our soil amendment is free from synthetic additives, offering a pure, natural source of essential calcium.
Bioavailable Calcium
Unlike traditional lime, aragonite's structure makes it inherently more soluble — delivering calcium to the root zone faster and more consistently, without the lag time of standard ag lime.
Aragonite vs Lime
We believe the foundation of healthy soil lies in the chemistry of its minerals. While lime is a common solution, it often fails to meet the specific needs of modern cultivators and organic gardeners.
Bioavailability
Aragonite is more soluble than lime at the mineral level, meaning calcium becomes available to roots faster — and in proportion to soil acidity and microbial activity, rather than all at once.
pH Buffering
Aragonite reacts with soil acidity gradually, reducing the risk of the alkalinity spikes that can come from coarser, fast-reacting ag lime.
Natural Composition
Aragonite is a natural mineral amendment, free from synthetic additives or processing aids.
Soil Structure
Aragonite supports soil structure and water retention as it integrates into the root zone.
“A soil with proper mineral calcium infrastructure doesn't need constant supplementation. It feeds itself.”
