    Just wondering has anyone tried the egg shell lime. Seeing it for £50 per ton bag on donedeal and can be spread with shaker, might be a cheap alternative.

    Article about it here, though it's more of an ad I guess. Looks interesting alright, especially handy that you can spread it away yourself. I wonder would it be possible to get a derrogation to use it in organics.

    I wouldn't think you'd need a derogation for that. It's a natural lime product all you should need is a soil sample to show that the land needs liming.

    The product is really interesting I would chance a few bags of it only for im still waiting for the samples to be taken for the soil sampling scheme. I might just say f it soon and just sample myself.
