lime

[Guest flatwoodhunter]

when you lime a plot, do you put down the lime before or after the seed? if before, how long before you plant the seeds?

Lime after you plow but before you disc.

..... if before, how long before you plant the seeds?

If you're using pulverized or burnt lime you can do it right before you plant. Pelletized lime or regular old white lime takes a year to become effective if I'm thinking right.

I usually try to work the ground up a few months before I plan on planting and add lime then.I also use both pelletized and crushed lime since they take different amounts of time to take effect.
