Using Limestone Screenings for Your Home & Garden Projects

Limestone Screenings, or F5 is composed of crushed limestone that is a by-product of the rock mining process. When rock is crushed it is passed through several screens to catch the larger pieces. The limestone screening is what falls off and can be used for other purposes. 

Here are 3 ways to use your limestone screening.
