Is it lime?

Been given a bag of Thomas Elliot “material”, problem is there’s no label so don’t know what the contents is. Very fine powder first thought it’s lime but could be grass fertiliser ? Any tests to determine what it is?

JMCKG, a quick test you can try (outdoors) is to put a small amount of that material (teaspoon or less) in a clean glass jar.  Add a tablespoon of vinegar.  Does it fizz?  If so, it is likely ground limestone, or something containing limestone.

Can you ask the person that you got it from what it is?

If it were me, and I couldn't figure out what it was, I would consider binning it instead of using it.
