Has anyone used the fertilizer spreader 3 point hitch to spread bulk lime. If so how did it work. Lime about 50 a ton verses the pellet at 6.99 a bag abouts for 40 lb.
Ag lime & bagged pulverized lime has more variability in the particle size. Bigger particles have to be broken down before they react with the soil. Pelletized lime also has binders to form the pellets that will constitute about 9-10% of its volume & mass, so you buy a little bit of inert stuff for the convenience of having pellets.
Lime first before fertilizer. You don't have to do it all at once and if pelletized is your best choice, then do as much as your budget allows. Lime now and lime more in the fall. If your soil ph is 5, you have some options you can plant and have reasonable results.
Pelletized lime is finely crushed (pulverized) lime, held together with a binder. Ag lime is just crushed up limestone (think crush and run in gravel) and can have more variation in what you get in terms of particle size. Some are very fine, some are bigger and take longer to dissolve. Pelletized lime is less dusty, easier to handle in terms of monitoring spread rate, and works faster because ...

Typically someone who spread bulk lime, will only spread a truckload, which is 8-9 tons. A full truck load might cost you $500. Tractor Supply sometimes has a sale on bagged pelletized lime, so you can heep an eye out for that, otherwise a tone might cost you $160. You can buy a whirlybird tow behind spreader there too, if all you have is a 4 ...

The man and I were spreading lime on food plots today preparing to plant clover. I checked my rings and decided I needed to record a workout. Lime is heavy so I thought why not traditional weightlifting workout. Below is the results. In the 48 minute workout I had to stop several times to let my heart rate drop. 2900 pounds of lime unloaded by ...
