What is hard about putting on lime? Dump lime in spreader, pull spreader across field. (don't forget to engage drive on spreader) What could be simpler?
1 It makes 1/10 acre dead spot where it was dumped and the heavy equipment loaded the lime.
2.. with regular lime you are paying for a lot of water...in it even if it costs 1/5 the price of pellet lime.
3. regular lime might be too dry and blow away onto your neighbors field.
4. Here is a video explaining it. Hey if there is a video on the Internet it must be true right?
5. Watch this video and EDUCATE YOURSELF ON HOW NOT TO GET ROBBED FLIM FLAMMED OR RIPPED OFF BY A CROOKED AND DISHONEST FERTILIZER DEALER.
6. a General rule of thumb. It takes 30-40% more regular lime to get the same results as pellet lime would give you.
7. Pellet lime costs 5 times more than regular lime. Thus you are paying 5 times more for a 30% better product.
8. Why do Fertilizer dealers sell pellet lime? Because they can make a Huge profit on it as long as there are Farmers STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY IT!!!
