[QUOTE="Limepro, post: 1179656, member: 17660"] There are 39 different aglime laws in the United States. Anyone that wants to expand their knowledge of lime should visit this website : Reactivelime.org Being in the business my self I can attest that the grind of the lime ( the fineness ) is as important as the chemistry. Mississippi state has a great extension flier about relative neutralizing value by Dr Larry Oldman. Finally I'm going to let you guys in on a neat trick to test the lime your buying. Take household vinegar which has a ph of 4 ( about where soil buffers ) and pour about 2 inches into a cake pan. Add a handful of the lime you plan to use, if boils and makes a ton of bubbles ( imagine shaking up a coke ) then it's good lime if it doesn't boil don't waste your money, it's junk. One exception is dolomite lime. Magnesium doesn't boil nearly as we'll as calcium. Feel free to ask any questions about lime. My company produces and distributes aglime in 4 states. [/QUOTE]
