When is too late to lime? Was going to already but may place is like a lake/bog we got soo much tremendous rain last few weeks - we hav for several years now but especially last few weeks. If rain holds off rest of week - i may be able to Saturday. Of course - great chance it still flooding by then. Is early august 2 late ?? Will try before then if schedule n rain allows. I plant oct 1-12 time range

Tdog we were planning on using Ag lime, but due to lack of equipment resources we are going to use pelletized lime. It works fairly quickly and is not terribly expensive if you don't need a crap load. Not going to be fun spreading it though.

Thats bad, real bad......if you fertilize, you might as well spread half of it and dump the other half in the river. Thats about how much of it the plants are getting. You need about 2ton to the acre. My garden spot was similar to that the first time i checked it, the production sucked. I disked in some pelletized lime and it went up immediately. My ground was also low in organic material. I added gin trash and that made a world of difference. I know youre working with too much ground to do that but you likely need to consider a cover crop that eill add some organic material to your soil. You dont just need to lime it, you need to build it.

Ouch Tdog, that's rough. I thought my 5.3 spots were bad low. Pelletized lime won't be the route for you to go unless you have some folks that hunt with you to split the cost. Also, PM sent

Think i may try to atleast lime my big field this year If I fertilize/plant in October, I usually hit the plots a couple weeks before Christmas with some 34-0-0 to green them back up before the rut kicks off good. You really need lime to get your pH up though, or you will be wasting your money and effort.

Yeah, the reason most people wont spread it is because roads aren't wide enough for the lime trucks and they don't want to scratch them up or bust a tire. Our roads are wide. This is right. Just for reference I had a rear float tire come off the rim this year and had to pay $460 just to get it put back on the rim and holding air. Had I had to have replaced the tire it would have been thousands of dollars. My truck is 10’ wide and about the same height and it will not fit where I hunt so I can’t use it. Very few places have roads decent enough for a spreader truck to go and even if they do you won’t be spreading enough lime to justify the cost and liability of tearing it up, getting stuck, etc.
