Lime prices have gone up at my local coop and farm and barn store. I was able to get a pallet of lime last year for 1.99 a bag, this year it is at 3.89. At the Farm and fleet I could get pel lime for 2.99 and now the best price is at 3.75. I think stores and suppliers are banking on the food plot and soil folks buying lots of lime.

Here in bowling green Ky it's $3.99. I bought 140 bags when it dropped to $3/bag. Wish I would've bought more.

Bought some yesterday for $4.99. Many of the bags were wet and clogged up the spreader. Pain in the neck!

Tractor Supply had the lime on-sale back in March for $2.99. That is when I scooped it up. Maybe they changed up based on marketing recommendation ie; put it on sale when all the suburbanites are planting flowers.
What are some examples of lime?

Is limestone soluble in calcium?
It is true that limestone can be moderately soluble, but the finer particles in limestone are soluble and provide available calcium fairly quickly. According to the MSDS the product is 10% calcium.

Is lime a good pH modifier?
It is typically a high quality lime with small particle size that dissolves easily in water. Liquid lime usually has a high relative neutralizing value (RNV) so it can quickly modify soil pH. However, since lime is dissolved in water, it typically consists of approximately 50% lime and 50% water by weight.
