In Reply to: Applying Lime posted by SouthernFarmall on March 12, 2012 at 15:28:00:
if your going to do it now,and dont mind the extra work.Get the powdered lime then simply go down to your local home store and buy a drop spreader,thats what they are for.BUT ITS NOT IN ANY WAY better to spread lime without a soil test!!!remember when you change the ph of your soil,youve done something thats not easily reversable.spredding lime and its cost is nothing like spreading sulfer and its cost.IF you think you need 750 lbs,spread only half that without a soil test or even less.And you most likely wont see much results this spring anyway.spread the rest next fall to get it ready for next year. Dont go too far or youve really got problems.best bet would be to wait on your soil test,regardless of how long ,and this year simply concentrate on crops that like your ph.you can very easily overdo lime. remember, lime takes time to work and it DOESNT have the same effect on all fields.even ones right next door.since you probably will be watering your garden more than your farmer friend does his crops your garden will likely need far less lime. its simply easier to change the ph of a teacup of water than a lake! i personally wouldnt advise guessing,your better off doing nothing in my opinion.
