    About to order a few loads of ground Lime here. Sprayed a paddock with glyphosate yesterday so as to reseed. Do I have to wait long before I spread lime on it as I don't want to bring the contractor back for 4 acres.
    TIA

    What reseeding method are you using?

    Will give it 2 runs of the power-harrow myself in 10-14 days. Would be early to middle of next week anyways before contractor comes to lime...

    Should you not put out the lime after the first pass, leave the lime work away for 5 - 7 days and then harrow again? This is what my contractor recommends anyway.

    Before the last run of the harrow for me in that case. You won't be burying the trash very far down and you'll need the lime close to the surface to neutralise the acid created by the trash rotting down.
