Get it on the ground ASAP. Takes a couple months to start doing it’s thing. Nice work on this plot man!

Think it was Southern States out of Jasper that I priced a few years ago. They were a little high and had a minimum of 5 tons if I recall correctly. You can rent a pull behind bulk spreader and get it by the ton from a lot of places which is what we did from a place out of Madison, but that is a fair haul for you. Your other option is to buy bag lime. I have a pull behind spreader you can use if you want to go that route. It has spread many a ton of pelletized lime.
