Just curious...why are you not using pelletized lime?

Thanks!

I just put some pulverized limestone down with a Scotts drop spreader. I
started out with a setting of 4 but had to jack it up to 10 before I saw
an appreciable amount of limestone on the lawn. I didn't use the rotary
spreader because I figured I would get more on me than the lawn. :-)

If it's pelletized, then it can be put down with a rotary. If it's
the powder type, it should be put down with a drop spreader. A
rotary will not work well, it will keep clogging. You might suffer
through one bag, but I would not want to try to go through 10 that way.- Hide quoted text -

Didn't see the peletized form. Any my neighbor showed me the stuff he
uses and its the same powdery stuff. Its cheap too!

I will try one bag with the rotary. Expecting to come back to the
house looking like a ghost!
