Got a question, want to book a soil test or place an order? We’d love to hear from you - there’s nothing we love more than chatting about healthier soil, animals and farms. Call us on 0508 678 464 or drop us a note, and we’ll be in touch in two shakes.
The world’s first pelletised
fine lime based fertiliser
“We have been involved with CP Lime for the past three years to identify and rectify problem paddocks on our deer farm. We have found the staff great to deal with especially Simon Inkersell who’s knowledge and practicality in the agronomy sector has been exceptional. We have mainly used Optimise with trace elements added as required, with results being immediate and outstanding, it’s also compatible and easy to use in both direct drill and spreader. We would have no hesitation in recommending CP Lime and its products.”

Key features
Ultra-fine
We crush lime to 70 microns to maximise the surface area, then press it into a pellet, so you get fine lime exactly where you want it
Concentrated
Our pellets break down readily and get to work quickly, improving soil structure and pH levels
Customisable
Fine lime is safely and effectively blended with the nutrients and fertilisers to perfectly meet your requirements
Save more
With less bulk you'll need fewer trucks – plus, with accurate placement and 100% utilisation you’ll need to spend less per hectare
How Optimise works
Fine lime pellets are 100% utilised and spread evenly
The finer the lime, the more immediate the reaction in the soil. The smaller the particular size, the greater the surface area, and the quicker the effect on soil pH and soil structure.
However, the fine particles are difficult to spread and prone to drift. Optimise is 100% ultra-fine lime, pulverised to an average of 70 microns and pressed into a pellet for ease of transport and application. It’s ideal for getting the most return from your lime and lime-based fertiliser spend.
Calcium is critical for improving aeration, water filtration, and allowing roots to penetrate deeper into the soil. Soil biology responds to good soil structure and air spaces, active soil microbes reuse and recycle plant and animal waste, and mean fewer chemicals are necessary.
Trial work shows a change in pH to an average of 0.2 per 250kg/Ha. Thanks to its accurate and concentrated form you’ll use a lot less than traditional Ag Lime. You’ll see results within 6 to 12 weeks and Optimise will continue working for as long as your soil type and farming conditions allow. For trials data click here.
At Optimise we only use natural ingredients in their raw state, micronized to enhance their release and availability. All our products are manufactured in New Zealand, are AsureQuality certified and biologically friendly.
Features and benefits
Easy to use, transport
and spread
Optimise is used by pastoral, arable, horticultural and viticultural operations throughout NZ. You won’t need any special equipment. Optimise is compatible with conventional ground spreading and drilling equipment.
Optimise is ideal for spreading by air – with a lot less bulk, it ensures the safe release of the load for top dressing pilots.
The reduced volume means fewer trucks on the road, and you’ll pay less in transport costs.
DIY Optimise applications are simple. Use existing tow-behind spreading equipment, just like you would apply Urea, and reduce the heavy traffic burden of bulk trucks.
Minimum order 500kg. Contact your local farm merchant for 25kg bags.
A better bottom-line
Optimise achieves the same rewards with a much better bottom-line compared to traditional Ag Lime. Making it easy to maintain pH and calcium levels, improve cash flow and increase your return on investment.

We quote in hectares rather than tonnes because you use less – up to 10x less than traditional Ag Lime. Many save 50% by using Optimise rather than conventional Ag Lime and pay less for transport. See what savings you’ll make on our handy cost calculator.
Optimise gets to work straightway to improve your pH level. Applying Optimise every 12-18 months is the best way to reach your pH and calcium targets and maintain them. You can apply Optimise 2 or 3 times for the same cost as one application of Ag Lime.
