Process for lime aka I don't know what I'm doing

[Geetch]

I've done soil tests and know what I need per plot. I have to use pelletized due to locations of where I need to put it out.

My question is what is the proper way to put it out.

Spread it and leave it, spread and then till, till then spread it, cultipack it all?

Spread and til is the way I usually do it.

You are trying to get maximum soil contact with the lime for the greatest, quickest effect. Spread it and disc it in.

Solu-cal. It’s 5x as potent as regular granular limestone. Meaning if it calls for 1000# you only have to put out 200#. That shit is a game changer when you need to put out big weight with a atv spreader in remote spots. I believe there are competitive brands, but the place I buy seed from sells solu cal. I have never done a thing other than broadcast it and let the rain work it in, Maybe someone with more knowledge than myself can recommend something different.

How does Solu-cal compare in price with regular lime?

Way higher. Think I paid $14 per bag last year. End cost I think it’s still a few bucks higher to use solu cal than peletized lime even though you are using way less product. The real savings is time. I have a few 2+ acre plots you can’t access by truck. I can throw 5 bags of solu cal on the rack of the Honda and have it spread in no time. That was an all day job working with peletized lime.

Wiz knows what’s up. I’ve got it at the store in Lexington. I can get you a price tomorrow. Shoot me a PM if you’re interested.

I definitely agree with letting the rain incorporate...at the most I’d pull a drag over it

Sol-U-Cal contains an organic acid that helps to breakdown the Ca. This allows it to work quicker as well as being more effective.

There are a couple of similar products: Sol-u-cal, Verde-cal

Anyone know where a homeowner can buy Solu-Cal in the Anderson area? I haven't been able to locate it on searches.

Thanks.

Does the Solu - Cal last as long as regular?

Sta-Green Rapid Lime sold at Lowes is their branded version of the solu-cal.

You use the Women's bathroom there a lot? I never go in the place because they let people like you in.
