can the 2 be mixed together and spread? or will it hurt the fertilizer?

They do not cancel each other out, the lime makes the PH correct which makes the fertilize more effective. First do a soil test and see what is really needed. If you can spread the age lime 3-4 months before it will be broken down enough to make tu e fertilizer work well.ddd75":3dieyf6s said:i always read you don't put them down at the same time.. fert one year.. lime the next.. they cancel each other out or something.. maybe someone else with more knowledge can chime in?
Soil test before u spend one cent on anything. There is no way you can guess what it needs without it. Tell you what, write on a paper what you would spread both in lime and fertilizer. Figure the cost. Put that paper away in a safe place. Do a soil test and then figure the cost again. Compare what u actually need to what you would have spread. Bet you will be surprised. I would have spread lime where it wasn't needed, not spread where it was needed, would never have spread the correct amounts of fertilizer. I now do not spread anything except nitrogen without doing a soil test.talltimber":o2svnqsp said:That's what i keep reading and getting told. Lime before you spend one cent on fertilizer
