I have one hayfield that needs the soil sweetened and have been seeing these adds about the benefits of the liquid lime/calcium and while I realize nothing can probably beat dolomite in the long run I'm curious has anyone tried this stuff? And if so what were your results? Thanks. Charlie.

I'd be interested too. IF someone who has actually used this type product could
post crop results good or bad. Thanks in advance.

I have only seen it used where things were neglected and a rescue was needed immediately

It corrected the ph in just a few weeks. but not long lasting nor deep. It was applied to some abused ground my uncle rented and needed help to be used as a pasture for a few years

Regular ag lime last for 3 years but only releases a 1/3 per year but is a hell of a lot cheaper. We applied ag lime the following month for the long run.

I don’t know if it would have much of an effect with deep rooted plants like alfalfa

Thanks, appreciate the input.

At a class I went to this topic was discussed. If you want immediate results on rented ground then it might be an option however it really is not a practical product or cost effective solution

I’ve used it in the past. Seemed to work fine. I “road lime” now.

Well I am seriously thinking about trying it in the one 17 acre coastal field, talked to the rep he gave me a price of $16.00 per acre.

Seems cheap for short term action. I paid almost $70/ton to have ag lime spread in November.
