    I spread the whole farm with 2 tonnes of lime in November. Can I go with urea now in feb/march/april? surely the lime has been washed well in in the last few weeks?

    rule of thumb is 6months after you spread lime you can spread urea..

    Reckon you should have no issue if waiting till Feb to go with urea. Would expect the only losses you could have is a small amount of nitrogen, (less than 5%) and as the urea is cheaper than CAN, financialy the urea is a better bet. Don't think the urea will reduce the impact of the lime in any way.
