Whatever you need for lime, do what the soil test says and don't cut back. Lime makes fertilizer works and chances are you need a lot of it. All things considered, it's cheap money spent if you want a good crop.

My soil test PH is 5.6 it called for 6 tons 80-89 lime or 60-69 8 tons. Now the spreed is a lost over now I have to deal with weeds! The whole field was covered what I have is

I think you got a great deal- can't find the paperwork but seems like i paid over $400 for less than half of that weight...

What type of weeds do you have?


2, 4-D is a broadleaf herbicide. Crossbow contains 2.4-D and triclopyr (which is more effective on brush) and is more expensive. Neither will kill grass. I had not heard of Eraser, but it is glyphosate (generic Roundup) and is thus non-selective (i.e., it will kill broad leaf plants and grass).

I really don't think you'll like the two behind that HomeDepot sells, not a very heavy duty unit, plus it only holds 175 pounds. I mistakenly called mine a tow behind, but after reading the later posts, it's a drop spreader, a Gandy to be specific. Large flotation wheels, good bearings, holds about 500 or so pounds

Thanks for the heads up Gunny.

Here you go Steve I'm no weed expert but I can tell you this weed is a pain there everywhere.

Don't let those weeds go to seed. Not ever.

Use generic roundup--glyphosate--and buy at Rural King if one is nearby.Cheap and effectve. Kills all but marestail and nail that with 2,4-d.
