I am going to plant a brassica and turnip plot around August 15th. When should I put down lime now or should I wait until I plant the seed?

It would have been best to have put it out in Feb or March. It takes 6 or so months to really get a good reaction from the lime, so the quicker the better.

timber is right. I put down lime back in the last week of Jan. The guys at the Whitetail Institute recommended that. I guess it takes a while for it to actually change your ph.

I usually plant around the 15th of august and I put lime down in mid april

try putting some hydrated lime down now.

Mr October

Hydrated lime is supposed to be the best and it reflects in the price (2x) pulverized lime. It is said that it takes a ton of lime to raise the Ph 1 point and it takes about 4-6 months to penatrate 1/2" . I put lime down at least 2x before I am ready to plant in the late summer,Feb/March and again in May/June.

Good Luck ! I surrendered I hunt in Del. CountyNY and If it's brown it's down is the white tail management theory with the weekend warriors that hunt near my property.
