View attachment 666046 View attachment 666048 View attachment 666050 Spread some calcifert on the maize ground .
PH test came back at mostly 6.5, with one 6.2, so doesn’t need much. Very underrated product IMO .

What’s people’s view on this tackle ?

Mainly rough pasture grazing land I’m thinking off


A couple ppl I know say it’s only a short term fix compared to proper lime spreading ?
But I’m kind of interested in it as I can put it on through the spinner by me as most limesprading tackle is way to big to go around my hill Farm

The lime boys will knock it, but I've found it good, especially as I can do it myself with a small tractor and do small fields that the lorry loads of lime lime find awkward.
Was getting a bit fed up of my lime man always saying, yes it needs about a ton!, So bought my own testing kit.
I know of one farmer that uses it religiously before OSR in his rotation and nothing else.

How much a bag or a ton is it? I bought stuff a few years ago and I think it was about 80euro for a 600kg bag
