    Where do you buy your lime? Do you buy it by the bag? Can you buy it in a different form, like a truck load by the pound?? I just got my soil sample back and I need to lime, which I knew I did, but this is my first time. So I wasn't sure if you could only buy it in like 50lb bags or if there was other choice??

    Thanks,

    How big of a plot or field are you looking at?

    For large fields you can order ag lime and have them spread it. For smaller plots we buy bags of pelletized lime and spread it ourselves with an Agrifab spreader pulled behind the atv.

    Not very big plots. I will use my ATV to spread it as well. Where do you get your lime?

    Thanks for the reply,

    Any seed coop. I would recomend pelleted lime if you are using your ATV.
