Lime

DJ98 · 2022-04-17 22:07:54

How long should be left between spreading lime and compound fertiliser such as 18 6 12.? I can find answers online in relation to lime and slurry and urea but nothing about compound. Was planning on spreading lime the end of this week and then the fertiliser early the following week

Fertiliser and then lime? Would that work better?

Leave 1 week from Lime to spreading compound / CAN

As said above, the Nitrogen (N) in compound fertiliser is the same as CAN. No issue with spreading Lime and CAN together according to Teagasc. I would leave 10 days though at least, if it was me, regardless of which I spread first.
