🧪 When Was Your Last Sample? 🌱
Soil sampling every 3–5 years is key to keeping your pH levels in check. It’s the only way to make sure your soil stays in the optimum range for both grassland and tillage. Healthy soil = better growth. Don’t guess it — test it! ✅🌾
#SoilSampling #FarmSmart #grolime #timetotest #mcgrathspremiumlime
🔬 Mind Your pH! 🌾
For mineral soils, keep your pH on point — aim for 6.3 on grassland and 6.5 for tillage. A balanced pH means better nutrient uptake and stronger yields. Stay sharp, monitor regularly! 📈🌿

🌱 Boost Your Grass Yield Year-Round! 🌱
Lime can be applied any time, but right after silage is ideal — with bare soils, you get the maximum impact. Don’t miss the chance to improve soil pH and increase annual grass production. Spread smart, grow strong! 💪🚜 #timetolime #grolime #mcgrathspremiumlime
Great to welcome the 2nd year Earth & Ocean Science and Environmental Science students from Galway University to McGraths Limestone, Cong, as part of their 'Introduction to Fieldskills' course! 🪨🔍

The students got a behind-the-scenes look at a working quarry, learning about the vital role limestone plays in everyday life, as well as the environmental protection measures and monitoring we carry out to ensure sustainable operations. 🌿📊
They also learned how the next blast site is chosen!

Also a big thanks to Benjamin Thébaudeau in the JCWL Geopark for putting the University in contact with us.

Delighted to support the next generation of geoscientists and environmental specialists! 👷‍♂️🌍
