would suggest saving your money and do the best you can with high-cal bagged lime. no one with agritech with return a call, email , or text to explain why none of my soil reports off 3 separate properties have changed. took samples every 2 months for 8 months. 55 gal of their humic / calcium product. and yes make sure your tank and lines are clean before using it and clean well AFTER using it. makes a salt like grit

You will really need to wash out your sprayer lines. These liquid lime products really don’t play well with other chemicals and gum up your sprayer lines.
I’m not convinced they are a substitute for crushed lime. I just can’t get my around the idea that a one gallon product can substitute for a ton of crushed lime. The science just doesn’t seem to add up. My brain can't grasp the concept of 1 gallon, probably 8-10 lbs, equals 1 ton. Most quarry lime has a CCE of 85-90%. It would take some voodoo magic to increase that by 200x or so. No comprende

I just can’t get my around the idea that a one gallon product can substitute for a ton of crushed lime. The science just doesn’t seem to add up. Ivetalked to a couple of people who know alot about farming and dirt. People who actually farm and went to college to study how to do it better. This was their opinions as well. If it were possible, it would have changed farming by now. I dont know of any bigtime acrage farmers doing it. If there was something easier or a dollar to be saved they would surely be doing it because for them a few minutes or dollars per acres adds up to weeks or millions of dollars. It just dont make sense.

It amazes me how stupid the thousands of American Farmers, spending billions of dollars prepping millions of acres, don't use this stuff. (Sarcasm font firmly on). If it's so great, and obviously cheaper and quicker per acre, why isn't it now the standard??
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.
