Is there better times of the year to add lime to your plots? I have a few small plots and was wondering after i bush hogged could i spread lime then plant right after?

Ag lime is by far the best cost and does a great job for at least 3 to 4 yrs if you put enough down. It takes Ag lime awhile to break down. I always put it down in the spring and it is ready by fall and again last for several years. Pellet lime is easier and a lot cheaper and if disk ed in can be put down in the fall. It only last for a year or two most times.
Ag is better and cheaper, pellet is more costly and last not as long.
Sometimes it depends on the equipment you have to put it out.
How is one better then the other? I ask because they are the same thing. One has a substance added to make small pellets the other is plain powder.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

If u you ou have Sandy soil it will always call for more lime. It’s not unusual for Sandy soul PH to be in the 4.0’s.
You use what you can get Ag lime is getting harder to come by.
If you always do what you've always done you always get what you've always got

Oh wow. 2-2.5 an acre seems like alot. I need to get my soil tests in and go from there i reckon. All my plots I tested were 4.5 to 5.4 in PH. At that low, fertilizer is a waste of money. The 5.4 one I had put liquid lime on, which is probably why it was that high. It called for 1.5 tons per acre. All the other fields were 2 to 2.5 tons per acre. I rented a 2 ton dump trailer and a couple scoops was 2 tons. Thankfully the quarry was about 9 miles away from my club, but you definitely want a 4wd truck, I made my first field drop fine, drop number 2, stuck. Drove 2 wd tundra home and got the 4wd one, and no problems. I would also say don't go to the quarry when its raining either. Wet ag lime is slick!!

I think their scale was off too, because they had my tare weight at over 7K pounds, for the double cab tundra, but only 5.5K for the access cab. One load I hauled out was 15K pounds total weight. I would also say don't go to the quarry when its raining either. Wet ag lime is slick!!

I'm also trying to buy as little as possible to reduce my dependence on supply chains. I'll be out there this weekend burying trash fish for fertilizer lol. I'm not expecting much success this year, just hoping I learn enough to be better at it next year.
