Buy 20t Lime

[farmgineer]

I'm after 20t of calcium lime tipped near Tarporley, Cheshire. Smaller loads considered but thought a full load would save on transport.

Pellets to allow application with fert spinner ideal, but some will be mixed with fym in the shed before spreading so not mandatory.

Thanks in advance

Can't help with your lime supply. But you have got me thinking.
Is anyone using lime as a base in straw bedded courts and spreading with the dung? Wouldn't be terribly accurate, but as a first step solution it may work to get ph into a reasonable position in extensive grazed systems....

Shhh! Wait till I've got mine or they'll up the price

common practice here.

So how do you do it?
Depth/ is it just done without any calculation on spread rates etc....
Just a general idea of what your application is please.
