[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6698236, member: 63856"] Yep, just "normal" (for us, Ca lime is normal lime) spread on the stack and rolled down, as water is applied to help make it gel. A few inches is generally pretty adequate, as long as the stack is well enough compacted, I think a tracked exacvator is probably the best for compacting the lime down It dries like a pie crust, a big ranch in Southland has stored silage underground for well over a decade using a lime cap over the top Probably the main caveats would be it'd be less suitable for feeding on concrete (they'd select it out and add to waste) and to pregnant stock (stops them mobilising their own Ca reserve) And, it isn't exactly a renewable resource [/QUOTE]
