[QUOTE="Shovelhands, post: 7106696, member: 37424"] Thanks for the tag [USER=33598]@Phil P[/USER] I‘m not an expert in anything, so I won’t proclaim to know the science or the answers. But I do know that I apply 4-5tpa regularly, and higher on occasion. That is fine ground limestone, but it’s ex water treatment works lime, so it’s a little different to a virgin ground limestone. From the experience of my customers, they have no problems applying the higher rates. I remember applying 5tpa on a particularly bad part of a field, every year for five years! No issues.... I’m led to believe chalk is a bit different, but as I said I don’t know the science well enough to preach, or say what’s right and wrong. [/QUOTE]
