WhereIt's still there.
I've deleted the lot nowIt's still there.
Is it any good mounty, beet man peddling it £10 a ton delivered ,Got 140 tonnes going out today. It is cheaper per tonne but obviously nothing like the NV of quarried lime. Sometimes its a very nice product to spread. Sometimes its black and wet and stinks, usually if some has been dug out of the holding pits or got wet in the heap.
Things to factor in when making your decision. Lower NV so need to apply more pro rata. 30% moisture content. Make your cost comparison by the acre/hectare not per tonne.
There are 'some' nutrients in it. Phosphate 10kg/tonne, Mag 7kg/tonne and Sulphur 6kg/tonne. Varies slightly from factory to factory.
As sure as eggs are eggs @GTB if you need it delivering in an 8 wheeler, you'll not be seeing it unless you've just sold some land for development and are feeling flush??
That mag lime sounds expensive if its only coming 2 hrs. I'm moving some 3 to 4 hrs by road and its a lot less. Possibly you're having it on 8 wheelers though?
Big stocks to shift at the moment due to lack of delivered product last year. If you're looking at it for soil conditioning it's not really the right product. For that you need gypsum (calcium sulphate). Sulphur knocks off excessive Mg ions and replaces with Ca, without raising the pH. I wouldn't be recommending Limex on a soil that is already high pH, thats practically mis selling. If you were to push your pH's higher, you'll struggle to get them down.Is it any good mounty, beet man peddling it £10 a ton delivered ,
does it have an effect on heavy land , floculation , we high ph in most fields ,
So where’s the cheapest place to secure this reduced to clear Limex to North East Wales…….Big stocks to shift at the moment due to lack of delivered product last year.

I could go on, but I won't
Do the Experts have an opinion on why some ground i have which is shallow wettish ground peat over clay , not been tested or limed for 30 years, grazing land tested at PH 5.9 , yet other light free draining land that was limed 6 years ago tested at PH 5, but is cut a lot and farmed intensively . laboratory tested, is it the constant cutting or is the test out. I suppose the only way is to retest but was expecting the first to be in the low 5s
YesHas the land that has been farmed intensively and cut a lot had lots of slurry and/or N fertiliser on? Both would tend to acidify things.
