Prilled Granulated Lime options

[Stuart J]

It's lime, basically the same stuff.

There is no way that a few hundred kilos can have anything like the effect of tonnes of lime.

Ok.

Ok.

If you are fixated on the fineness/particle size, by some lime from wherever that is ground finely and then apply that at say, 500kg/acre? It would probably still be cheaper.

About the only thing I can see going for prilled lime is that you can put it on with a fertiliser spreader. I hate bags with a passion and would certainly not be paying more money for the exact same product I could have tipped up in bulk.

Ok then.

If you buy bulk lime make sure it’s decent stuff the stuff that @Hilly got delivered was very poor I don’t that would have done much good at all,

At least with prilled lime you know the quality is there, depends on quantities vs what I would buy small amounts is very handy in prilled.

I reckoned 50% of the load was ok 50% was small gravel. I ended up paying 50% which was very easy , made me think they knew they were at it ! Not all cowboys ride horses .

My neighbour had some tipped there and looked like road chippings. Turned out to be crushed reject breeze blocks which supposedly had the same neutralizing value as lime. I doubt it.
