[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1175034, member: 18945"] If I can add to that as an example: The product I mentioned above has the sizing process used on the label, and this product is a lot fner than the lime I had spread on my pastures earlier in the year--it's a pellet about 1/2-1/3 the size of an air rifle bb. (Not sure why they didn't start with the last size that 100% passed thru--would have saved some printing) Mesh is the # of openings in 1" 100% passed an 8 mesh sieve. 100% passed a 10 mesh sieve. 100% passed a 20 mesh sieve. 100% passed a 40 mesh sieve. 100% passed a 50 mesh sieve. 98% passed 60 mesh sieve. 90% passed a 100 mesh sieve. 70% passed a 200 mesh sieve. (200 mesh =0.0029" or 74 microns--0.074 mm Other elements in this product: Guaranteed dry wt analysis (elemental) Calcium (Ca) 17.5% Magnesium (Mg) 10.1% Calcium Carbonate Eq. 80.0% Water Soluble Binder 2.0% Moisture (Maximum) 4.0% Calcium Oxide (CaO) 24.0% Magnesium Oxide (MgO) 17.0% Total Oxides 41.0% Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) 44.0% Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3) 36.0% Total Carbonates 80.0% [/QUOTE]
