About three weeks ago we discovered out sewer drain had come apart and had been draining in the foundation. We got it all fixed and someone suggested we put a powdery substance called quot;limequot; to control the odor. Thing is now all I can smell is a musty odor in my home. I know the ground has been dry for a good while now we had a old furnace blower going for about 4 days. Could this possibly be the lime I am smelling? And if so how can I get ride of the smell.
1:10 or 30 lbs. of pellets For most agronomic crops the soil pH should be between 6.0 and 7.0. A soil test determines the soil pH which indicates whether liming is required. The soil test also gives the exchangeable acidity of the soil. This along with optimal pH for crop growth, determines how much limestone is required to neutralize the acidity. Most ag lime materials are calcium and/or magnesium carbonates. Burnt lime, hydrated lime, and some by-product materials are also used. Pelletized lime is made by granulating finely ground agricultural (ag) lime. It may be dolomitic or calcitic depending on the nature of the original limestone. The fine lime particles are bonded together with lignosulfonates during the pelletizing process. In general, the pelletized lime contains about 9% lignosulfonates. Pelletized limestone is a product that has been on the market for many years.
I am trying to get an agricultural or ag lime for the chickens to give a sweet smell. I was 1st told to use hydrated lime. I purchased it and then read it was the wrong lime to give a good odor to chicken area. I asked for some Ag lime and was given some pelletized Dolomitic limestone. The directions said to be careful of your eyes. I am confused. Have I still purchased the wrong product? If it is the correct one, how do you apply to soil?
