Q: How often should you spread lime? A: It's best to cover the whole farm every year. This keeps it in top condition for applying fertiliser.

Results show that whole farm lime applications produce the most outstanding results, and don't actually cost a lot. With yearly liming, pastures regenerate better and are more able to withstand the demands of grazing rotations, and yearly liming also reduces the effects of a drought.
Lime provides a basis for all other fertiliser applications. By keeping soil in top condition, you will get much more out of the fertiliser you apply. When soil is in top condition, it makes much better use of existing nutrients, and results have shown fertiliser applications can be reduced, cutting fertiliser costs significantly, which means more profit per hectare.
The best time to apply lime is in early summer through to mid/late autumn as the weather is suitable, and timing won't interfere with most farm practices.
