Has anyone have any experience or tried liquid lime in a small fish pond? I ordered a 2.5 gallon jug of Cal Flo so im going to give it a shot...figured for only 60 bucks, it would be worth a shot for a couple treatments. I posted in the Help thread, but no one responded.
Cal-Flo label states clearly, that it takes 2849 pounds of Cal-Flo to equal 2000 pounds of standard Ag Lime...and at about 100 times the price....NOT a good liquid lime!
I applied a 275 gallon tote of Calcis in a 7.9 acre pond that was inaccessible to a lime truck on about 80% of the shoreline. 50 ton of Ag lime was needed, and the cost of spreading that much from a barge made the liquid cost effective...it worked VERY well. 5 gallons of Calcis equals 1 ton of standard Ag lime so I added, VERY EVENLY, 55 ton in 2 hours for about $6000.
Local high quality Ag lime was $32/ton for $1600, deliveries would have been $2500-$3000, loading Equipment $300 and spreading $2500
