RE: When to put out Lime?
Hydrated lime is supposed to be the best and it reflects in the price (2x) pulverized lime. It is said that it takes a ton of lime to raise the Ph 1 point and it takes about 4-6 months to penatrate 1/2" . I put lime down at least 2x before I am ready to plant in the late summer,Feb/March and again in May/June.
Good Luck ! I surrendered I hunt in Del. CountyNY and If it's brown it's down is the white tail management theory with the weekend warriors that hunt near my property.
