It gets fairly scientific pretty quickly, but pulverized has the greatest longevity and is many, many times cheaper. Pelletized is certainly easier with less mess, but fades almost yearly; noted from the times we've tested Ph. Soil contact by harrowing would be the preferred method for integration into the soil, which is absolutely necessary. Spreading it on top of the ground would be a waste of cash. From what I have studied, it normally takes 18 months to 2 years to maximize the intended affect on the soil. I'm only curious about the attraction, since we've never limed "perfectly" as we have this year. I will report back after this season and the next, Lord willing. For the time of the year, it's always about getting the lime in whenever you can and as soon as you can. I am highly curious about this and it should be fun to watch.

Lime is probably one of the most important things you could add to a plot yet its one of the most underutilized due to the difficulties most folks have in getting it to their plots

Can you tell us more about the spreader you bought? I wouldn't think that the co-op makes it, so what is the name and model number on it? How much did it cost? Got a picture?
Having a load delivered and spreading it yourself is the only way to get it to small plots, but I have never found a decent spreader that doesn't cost thousands of dollars. Thanks!

I think what he is talking about is a Gandy Drop Spreader or something similar to that type spreader. Several companies have made these through the years including Deere. You can get one at a farm auction for about $2 but they go for $1k on Craigslist and I'm not on Facebook but I am sure you might see one there. You can also look on TractorHouse or Fastline. Sounds like the St. Clair Co-Op might have new units you can purchase.
They certainly work. They don't hold a whole lot in terms of pounds of lime at a time.... so if your lime pile is far away you'll make a lot of trips to spread a couple 1,000lbs at 500 lbs a tote but that's not real that bad if you don't mind a little work..
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
