Aegir is a 100% natural source of lime, made from shell fragments from the North Sea. Rich in calcium carbonate (96.1% CaCO₃), it gradually and sustainably increases soil pH without shocking soil microbiology.
Thanks to its coarse structure, calcium is released slowly, providing a long-lasting buffering effect (up to 3 years) and natural stabilisation of soil acidity. Alongside calcium, Aegir supplies a wide range of minerals and trace elements beneficial to soil fertility and structure.
✔ Suitable for use in Organic Agriculture

Why choose Aegir?
Unlike traditional agricultural lime, which dissolves rapidly and has a short-term effect, Aegir releases its calcium carbonate gradually, ensuring a gentle and lasting pH correction.
A balanced pH allows for:
- Improved nutrient uptake
- Optimal microbial activity
- Increased fertility
- Enduring yield improvements
