Who would have sold him that I wonder?Had he been sold Limex and slag previously? No wonder he was thrilled to be back on the ‘proper’ stuff.
Problem was with Limex is haulage it's such a distance away , even more so now the way costs have gone , it works well mind but don't think it will last like Cotswold Lime , not sure what to say about SlagWhat happened to limex and all the other products ?
Genuine question
A neighbour had some limex 3 weeks ago about £25 ton he thought it was as his boy that was in charge of it near Builth WellsProblem was with Limex is haulage it's such a distance away , even more so now the way costs have gone , it works well mind but don't think it will last like Cotswold Lime , not sure what to say about Slag
My mate hauls tons of it to Puffin Spuds in Pembroke so thought I would give it a try , I've tested tons of stuff over the years , but gone back to the Cotswolds stuff , it works and maintain s the pH better than anything else I've used , like you say slag don't lift the pH enough , it's cheap mindSlag could be reasonable value to you in Wales because I would imagine the haulage cost isn’t too bad coming from Port Talbot. And it has some other goodies in it too, but it’s not particularly good at raising pH
But I’ve no idea why anyone would want to haul Limex right the way across the widest part of the U.K.
That idea can’t stack up at all.
What is its NV?
Because grinding machines cost alot and as the older ones break, they dont replace them.Does it ever break down ,
The lime job need sorting out , is there not a lime association that polices this , declaration sheet means nothing if you get a load of grit , why don't quarries invest in a grinder and do a proper job instead if loading what's fallen off the belts in many cases
Sorry a lot of why's there but makes me angry the waste of it all
Sounds pretty expensive, 80% of that is haulage, plus you need twice as much as ground lime to do the same job.A neighbour had some limex 3 weeks ago about £25 ton he thought it was as his boy that was in charge of it near Builth Wells
Interestingly I got a scoop of lime slurry for free last week, its drying out under cover now - Its from a limestone quarry that washes their 20mm and 10mm aggregates for the concreting market, so all the fines are removed and the dust is all water borne so typically 0.65mm down, infact it feels like talc when dry and clay when wet, as its the water suspended fraction.That’s exactly why you need to see a spec sheet if you’re buying a product you don’t know.
It could be, quite literally, a pile of waste.
Spread it with a tanker with sand stirrer inInterestingly I got a scoop of lime slurry for free last week, its drying out under cover now - Its from a limestone quarry that washes their 20mm and 10mm aggregates for the concreting market, so all the fines are removed and the dust is all water borne so typically 0.65mm down, infact it feels like talc when dry and clay when wet, as its the water suspended fraction.
Its normally landfilled as its a bright white sticky clay - I asked why they done sell it as a premium Lime and they said its the weeks it takes to dry and when dry its so fine it covers everything in dust in a slight breeze.
Now that would be some amazing lime.
haha it stays in suspension ages so would probably work!Spread it with a tanker with sand stirrer in
Don't forget my cut if it works
So offer to take it away cheaper than the landfill cost....haha it stays in suspension ages so would probably work!
sadly they're landfilling the back of their own quarry..... but said i can have as much as I want as its only a tonne or two a week of slop, Im in most days this month for pipe bedding.So offer to take it away cheaper than the landfill cost....
