I thought I would add to an older thread, instead of adding a new one with a similar title. I hope that's okay?"
I'm in East Texas, too, near Cleveland, with this 20 acre lake that is a PH of about 6.0 and 10 PPM Alkalinity.. We're looking into liming and fertilizing, but, in their minds, they have me out there with a Jon boat, plywood, and a shovel. Another idea is a PTO pump on one of the small Kubota tractors, but this gets us into creating a slurry and still has me out in a boat with a hose strapped to my...
How far out can one of these PTO pump truck throw the lime out there? We can get to about 70% of the shoreline, but it's still a long way across.
I see agricultural lime and dolomite lime can be used? What the heck is the difference and why would I want one over the other?
Meadowlark, who did this for you at $35.00 a ton? Did the same folks also have a good price on the lime?
Thanks in advance to all who reply...
