Dung and lime

johnnyw20 · 2017-03-03 14:32:45

Have a 11 acre field which I'm going spreading dung in once the ground dries up a bit. The same field also needs lime Would it be possible to spread the lime the same day as the dung while I have the contractor in the yard or is there any reason why I can't do it? If I can do it, does it matter which is spread first?

Dung first and lime a week later. If you put them out together or lime followed by dung, you will lose a good portion of the N from the dung into the atmosphere. Tbh, you will still lose a good portion of the N anyway as the dung won't be broken down very quickly.
