WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TI LIME FOOD PLOTS???

[@nathanlester5054]

Hey Wes, great information as usual! Really appreciate you and your channel! I have a walk-behind, drop spreader that I use for applying lime in the Spring , just before Turkey Season. I make it a point to take 3 or 4 bags of line with me every time that I go to my land and spread these out before I leave. I place a stick in the ground where air stop spreading and another one about 20 feet away in the direction that I was spreading; this way I don't loose track of where I was.

That’s a great idea and a great plan of attack. That way it’s not such a major undertaking all at one time! Thanks for watching and commenting

Hopefully next year ill have a spreader for my tractor, it wasnt fun spreading all my lime by hand this year

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

That is super hard work no doubt about it….your clearly a hard worker and i hope your plots turn out really well! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Wes, added 10 ton this spring

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

Wow!!! That’s a bunch of lime! Hope your plots do well and you get some awesome growth next year!

I'm guessing it comes to a time to stop applying lime for a while on plots. Last couple soil tests I had done said ph was too high to rate. Go figure???

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

You must have really been rolling the lime to it over the years. Yes once you get to around 7, I would stop and let it work back down to around 6 again in a couple of years, then try to put another ton on and get it back to 7. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Wes, if your soil test says you need 2 tons of lime per acre, is it better to put the full amount on or break it up into 1/2 to 1/3 spreading over few months?

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

I’d put the full 2 ton, then check soil about a year later, prolly need to add a little more after the first one but that should get you very close. Thanks for watching and commenting

Is it okay to use pelletized lawn lime?

[@DIYfoodplotpro]

Yes just double check the back of the bag and make sure it says calcium carbonate. Thanks for watching and commenting!
