Fertiliser after Lime?

dasheriff

I saw on a thread here a few weeks ago that there is a certain lenght of time you should wait to spread urea after spreadin lime, does this apply for the likes of pasture sward after granulated lime aswell or can you just spread away after 2 or 3 weeks?.

I reckon you should be ok with those after a couple of weeks, it's just urea which is acidic(also sulphur) which would react with the lime. You should be ok this time of year with rain anyway.

No it's only urea that reacts to the lime particles, you can spread lime a week after urea but not the other way around. all other fertilizers are fine.

hi,

does this mean you could spread granular lime and fertiliser together at same time?
