[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1245212, member: 498"] This isn't regular ag lime put into water. Or at least the stuff I have dealt with isn't. It is very extremely finely ground lime. And lime works based on surface area. The finer it is ground the more surface area there is. So the lighter application does work. But it is not issue free. It likes to settle to the bottom of the spray tank and is very difficult to clean out. You are putting rocks (be they fine ground rocks) through a system designed to pump liquid. The people I know who use it have a separate sprayer that they just use for the liquid lime. That mixture doesn't sound right. I know the liquid lime I have seen is very heavy. Something like 27 pounds per gallon. [/QUOTE]
