[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7535801, member: 416"] If you use a good quality ground calcium lime it won’t take (as you’ve read elsewhere) the majority of a year to work. At the very least it will have 40% dust 150 micron or smaller. So if you put on 2t per acre, you will apply AT LEAST 800kg of that fine dust per acre, which will work in no time. Plus the other 1200 kgs of good stuff which may well have even more fine dust in it. On the flip side, if it’s a good sample, you won’t have anything bigger than a grain of wheat (and not many particles that size) so you won’t have lumps sitting in the ground forever doing nothing. What area are you in [USER=58658]@Gibbybox[/USER] ? [/QUOTE]
