marl
Lime-rich earth
Marl is a crumbly soil or sedite rich in calcium carbonate, used as fertilite to reduce soil acidity.
Farmers have spread marl on fields for centuries: The land was improved by marling.
The verb means to fertilize with marl.
In textiles, marl refers to yarn made from threads of different colors twisted together, creating a heathered effect: a marl grey sweater.
