Typical Mixing Guide for General Purpose Mortar (by volume)

1 part Cement
1 part Hydrated Lime
6 parts Sand

Mixing Steps:

Combine cement, lime, and sand thoroughly.
Gradually add clean water while mixing until a smooth, workable consistency is achieved.
Apply using standard masonry tools such as a trowel.

Storage and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
Keep bag sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of humidity.
Avoid breathing in dust and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Apply hydrated lime at a rate of 1–2 tonnes per hectare based on a soil pH test; higher rates may be needed for more acidic soils. Spread evenly across the paddock using a fertiliser spreader or lime spreader, ideally before the wet season when soil moisture will help the product react. Allow 6–18 months for the full pH-correcting effect to develop. For best results, combine lime application with a balanced phosphorus and nitrogen fertiliser program. Tips: Always conduct a soil pH test before application to determine the correct rate for your paddock — this ensures cost-effective use and optimal results. Apply hydrated lime at least 2–4 weeks before applying other fertilisers to avoid nutrient lockup and maximise effectiveness. Wear appropriate protective equipment (gloves and dust mask) when handling and spreading, and avoid application on windy days.
