[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 7916551, member: 48190"] [I]This low quality lime will not be able to neutralise soil acidity as quickly, or for as long, resulting in declining crop performance. [/I]- not as quickly agreed, but surely for longer as the larger particles will go on dissolving long after finer ones are all dissolved? In theory larger particles will have a prolonged effect but over a period that is uneconomic? In the old days when we shovelled on 'lump chalk' and let the frost break it down the action was slow all right, but lasted decades. But we just dug the chalk from a nearby pit for only the the cost of labour. [/QUOTE]
