Hydrated Lime ?
I am told I'm needing a large amount of lime on my garden but the information I[m finding leaves me not knowing what to do. Yes I plan to send in a soil sample but the results will be 6 weeks getting back and the local agg agent tells me that everyone in the county needs an average of 5000 lbs of lime per acre.
I also read that it takes 3 months for lime to do its work on the soil and that Hydrated Lime does so much faster but then other sites on the net have said not to use hydrated lime without really saying why. Anyone care to tell me what is best please ? Thanks |
