Hydrated lime will take approximately 6-months to fully move the Ph level of your soil. You can put out quick release granualized lime at any time, and the results can be seen in as little as one month.

Take time to do a soil sample and get the results so you know what to put out and when.

Please check out my post - "Food Plot Basics - Do's and Don'ts" for some observations over the past 10+ years. My Fall food plots are doing great this Spring after a second application of fertilizer and lime to make certain that I am in the 6.4 to 6.8 Ph range. There is a lot of great detail in this post.
