Limex

The X45 is 25 NV


The × 70 is 30 NV

I know nothing about it just the old wet stuff made the grass grow, spread it with a rotaspreader , but was to expensive as it was to wet

No I'm trying to find out if the stuffs any good was thinking of trying some on 100 acres at the back here . Do you have a problem with that , stuff may be shite for all i know [emoji3]
Prilled lime is very fast acting and available but to damn expensive
I'm doing experiments on drill plots to see if I can reduce the acid from die back as well , need a fast acting lime
1Googled limex and this thread can up, nothing much else about it

Then just use a high quality ground lime, NOT screened.
A tonne of that will contain at least 400kg of dust finer than 150 micron.
The Burford lime I told you about or the Naunton will do the job better than anything else you’ve mentioned.

You dont seem keen on this beet lime ether .

Only ever seen it once. It had been tipped two weeks and was like a lot of putty.

For what it is the haulage will kill it to Wales.

Be a tad dearer than ground I can get but cheaper than Cotswolds , could be their sales hype but they say it will replace ton for ton , you do get a bit of mag phos and sulpher so that would cover the extra cost if it. As long as it was effective at liming, its cooked like burnt lime so thats what attracted me

It’s not like burnt lime. It may go through some process or other, but that doesn’t make it burnt lime.

If it was that strong you wouldn’t be allowed to transport and tip it in bulk and it would take your skin off. Proper burnt lime would harm your eyesight, even blind you, as a local man to here would testify.

The defo cook it in the process, it would be deactivated when they add water surley
Milk of lime is used during a key part of the sugar refining process, leaving behind a fine calcium carbonate

 

[Cab-over Pete]

So if it’s deactivated.......

In not trying to big it up ,just trying to work it out
STAGE 2: AT THE PROCESSING STAGE

4.The sugar beet is sliced into thin strips called cossettes.

5.These thin strips are mixed with hot water to extract the sugar and a lime solution is added to the raw juice to remove any impurities.

6.The syrup is filtered, heated and seeded with tiny sugar crystals, which grow into the required size. The sugar crystals are then washed, dried and cooled.

Lots of Limex being used round here on veg ground, all I know is it stinks.

It's a waste product you should be being paid to accept... Nuff said.

Supposed to stop club root , yes I remember it stunk

 

[Kevtherev]

It stinks and haulage will kill it just buy Buxton lime derek.

High Calcium in soils is supposed to suppress clubroot. Limex wouldn’t be the only source of calcium, or even the best, unless it was free.

Batting for the opposition, there claim is its just as fast as burnt lime which I believe to be the fastest acting lime there is. Like with acid seed kill , you need a SAS approach, not Dads army

Good god man, it's normal ground limestone added to the process of extracting the sugar therefore, absolutely no reaction takes place except it gets wetter. There is some residual lime left over in the bi product that comes out the other end. It's alright stuff but the lower NV and suggested application rates tell you all you need to know.

I've never seen that claim anywhere ever. Where does it say that?

Move along @Mounty nothing to see here.
