Ardfert Quarry is a member of GROLIME, Ireland’s only agricultural lime quality assurance scheme.

“Grassland soils maintained close to the target pH will have benefits of
increased yields, more efficient utilisation of applied fertilizers and manures
and better persistence of the more productive species in the sward such as
perennial ryegrass and clover.” Mark Plunkett, Soil Nutritionist at Teagasc.

Ardfert Quarry is a high calcium limestone quarry that has been supplying Co. Kerry with Agricultural Lime since 1980.

The high purity reserve of limestone at Ardfert Quarry means that our lime has a Total Neutralising Value of 98%.

Fineness (powder content) of lime is critical to its effectiveness to neutralise soil acidity, our modern automated lime plant ensures we produce lime well in excess of the required standard.

We recognise that farmers have a very short window of opportunity to apply lime when it’s required, so we work with a group of dedicated lime spreading contractors to ensure you get your lime when you want it.

Please call one of our sales reps to discuss your lime requirements.
