Not had to buy any before, how much is it a ton and how much to spread it. Is mag lime the same price as calcium lime. Just want an idea on price so I know I’m not getting my leg lifted.

£25.50/t spread

Usually comes from Huntsman quarry.


^this. Cost quoted is irrelevant unless it’s in the same area as the OP.

It’s over £30/t here, delivered and spread for example, for lime that’s not as good as that above from Huntsman’s.


I would be willing to bet a lot of money that the lime shown is not Huntsman Lime from Naunton Quarry.

If you were told it was @Jon 3085 then I would start asking some serious questions. I spread up to 16,000 tonnes per year from Huntsmans and I’ve never seen it that colour or that moist.

Plus, as far as I know, I am the only merchant they supply in the UK. That’s what they tell me anyway.

Happy to be proved wrong, but I have a sneaky feeling you’ve been sold something other than Naunton lime.
