Description
PlotStart™ provides an instantly available source of calcium, helping to enhance soil health and boost plant growth faster than traditional or liquid lime applications. Unlike traditional lime that can take months to become effective, PlotStart™ activates immediately upon contact with the soil and continues to supply available calcium for years. Ideal for food plots, trees, shrubs, and perennial plantings, a single 2.5-gallon jug covers up to one (1) acre.
Key Features:
-
Lime Equivalency: 2.5 gallons = 1 ton of lime per acre
-
Fast Activation: Begins working immediately, unlike traditional lime
-
Long-Lasting Results: Provides available calcium for years, not just a single season
-
Enhanced Soil Health: Improves soil both biologically and chemically faster than ag lime
-
Better Germination: Promotes quicker and stronger plant emergence
-
Increased Nutrient Availability: Boosts the uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)
-
Calcium Boost: Supplies critical calcium for healthier seedlings
-
4-Year Shelf Life: Maintains effectiveness for multiple seasons

Shipping Policy
At Standish Milling, we're committed to delivering your products in a timely and cost-effective manner. Here's some information to help you understand our shipping costs.
UPS Ground Shipping
We primarily use UPS Ground for our shipping. The cost of shipping is calculated based on the weight of your order and your location. UPS Ground offers reliable, cost-effective delivery for packages under 150 lbs.
You can estimate your shipping costs by adding items to your cart and entering your shipping address. Our system will automatically calculate the shipping costs before you proceed to checkout.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) Shipping
For larger orders over 150 lbs, we use Less Than Truckload (LTL) shipping. LTL shipping is a cost-effective way to ship large orders by combining shipments from multiple customers.
Here's how it works:
-
You get a quote: When you add items to your cart that total more than 150 lbs, our system will provide an LTL shipping quote. This quote is based on the total weight of your order and your shipping address.
-
Your order is shipped: Once your order is ready, we send it to the shipping carrier who combines it with other shipments going in the same direction. This process allows us to save on shipping costs and pass those savings onto you.
-
Your order is delivered: The carrier will deliver your order to your specified address. Keep in mind that delivery times for LTL shipments may be longer than UPS Ground shipments due to the consolidation process.
