		Lime mud is a by-product produced in pulp mills as part of the process that turns wood chips into pulp for paper.
		Lime mud applied on the surface of an Alabama pasture increased the soil pH more quickly than agricultural lime, and it was more effective that agricultural lime in raising the pH to the desired level of 6.5.
		In summary, lime mud is a by-product of the pulp mills that is useful as a soil liming agent.

	Agricultural lime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agricultural lime is a soil additive made from pulverized limestone or chalk.
		Agricultural lime may occur naturally in some soils but may require addition of sulfuric acid for its agriculturial benefits to be realized.
		In livestock farming, hydrated lime can be used, as a 'disinfectant' measure, producing a dry and alkaline environment, in which bacteria do not readily multiply.

	Top 10 Liming Questions
		Liming materials differ widely in their neutralizing powers due to variations in the percentage of calcium and/or magnesium.
		When lime is worked into the soil, a larger portion of its surface area is exposed to the soil allowing for faster reactivity.
		Dolomitic lime may be recommended in pastures that have a history of grass tetany to raise forage magnesium levels.

	National Lime Association FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
		Lime is a generic term, but by strict definition it embraces only the manufactured forms of lime—quicklime and hydrated lime.
		--this lime is produced from dolomitic quicklime under pressure, which results in hydrating all of the magnesium oxide as well as all of the calcium oxide, producing the following chemical composition: 40 to 42 percent calcium oxide, 29 to 30 percent magnesium oxide, and 25 to 27 percent chemically combined water.
		Normal grades of hydrated lime suitable for most chemical purposes will have 85 percent or more passing a 200-mesh sieve, while for special applications hydrated lime may be obtained as fine as 99.5 percent passing a 325-mesh sieve.

		When lime rates are calculated for a first and second crop, the highest of the two lime rates is suggested for the first crop and no lime is suggested for the second crop.
		Lime is sold by the pound; thus be aware that you may be purchasing a substantial amount of water and should adjust lime rates accordingly.
		Lime is also sometimes sold as a suspension, often called "liquid lime." It consists of fine lime particles mixed with water and a suspending clay.

	Sources of Lime for Acid Soils in Virginia
		A certain percentage of the particles in a liming material must be sufficiently fine (pass a 100-mesh sieve) to react rapidly with soil acidity and supply the nutrient elements calcium and magnesium.
		Hydrated lime is similar to burnt lime in that it is powdery, quick-acting, and somewhat unpleasant to handle.
		Fluid or suspension lime is produced by mixing very finely ground, high CCE value lime (typically 100 percent passing a 100-mesh sieve and 80 percent to 90 percent passing a 200-mesh sieve) with water (typically 50 percent) and a suspending agent, usually attapulgite clay.

		Lime stabilization of sludge is a potentially more economical means of disposal, and lime-stabilized sludge (LSS) may be able to serve as a replacement for agricultural lime.
		The agricultural lime seemed more effective than LSS in increasing pH in the incubation study, whereas the LSS tended to be more effective than agricultural lime in the greenhouse and field studies.
		Although soil pH would be expected to decrease more rapidly with LSS than agricultural lime due to the finer particle size, this was not consistently shown in either the third crop in the greenhouse or the third year in the field.

	Madigan Lime Corporation
		Agricultural lime sales volume continued to increase through the 1960's and into the 1970's, eventually topping over 30,000 tons annually.
		However, as government farm subsidies decreased and the value of land increased during the late 1970's, a sharp decline in the number of farms in the New England region caused sales of agricultural lime to begin to decline.
		J.C. Madigan's primary supplier of agricultural lime was U.S. Gypsum, a company that produced both the agricultural lime which had been the original focus of the business and the industrial lime products that soon became the next step in the growth of the company.

		Lime is a major source of calcium and magnesium, which are essential plant nutrients.
		Although calcitic lime may be cheaper, dolomitic lime is a better choice, especially on sandy soils, which tend to be low in magnesium.
		Lime recommendations are given in units of pounds per 1,000 square feet for small lawn and garden areas and in tons per acre for pastures and field areas.

	Dixie Landscape Products-Liquid Lime
		Webster's New World Dictionary defines lime as " a white substance, calcium oxide, obtained from limestone and used to neutralize acid soil" and Limestone is defined as "rock consisting mainly of calcium carbonate".
		Granular agricultural limestone usually takes anywhere from 6 to 9 months to start working and by this time the fertilizer that was applied will long have been leached away.
		Liquid lime is not to be used as a replacement for agricultural lime but it can be used to provide a quick pH change, therefore, allowing a much healthier stand of grass in less time.

		The trial compared dolomite agricultural lime from a quarry near Rochester with calcite Pell Lime from Fort Dodge, Iowa.
		The plots that were limed showed about a third of a ton increase in alfalfa yield in 2001 and about a quarter ton increase in 2002.

	Martin Limestone -> Agricultural Lime
		Liming with Martin's pulverized limestone neutralizes soil acidity and naturally replenishes vital calcium and magnesium nutrients which help maintain fertile soil conditions in plant root zones.
		Lime application can also be effective before tilling and planting in the spring and early summer, but fall and early winter ground conditions help reduce soil compaction and rutting during spreading.
		The freezing and thawing of late winter is an additional aid to the distribution of the limestone.

		He then tried it in some of his smaller ponds and found it to be very rewarding compared to the "old-timey" method of shoveling agricultural lime in their ponds.
		The use of liquid lime in small ponds has been very successful, but in a 50 acre lake it probably would be more feasible to use agricultural lime.

	You Can't Afford Not to Lime
		The two factors that determine quality of lime are the calcium and/or magnesium carbonate content of the liming material and how finely the lime is ground.
		However, applying lime whenever it is possible is better than not applying lime at all.
		If lime is needed, the sooner it is applied the better, since lime can take several months to react and raise pH.
