The field that i want to go to was recently treated with lie, however, we had heavy rain yesterday which should have washed it into the soil. Should I still go monday?

Lye? Lie? or Lime? :icon_scratch:
What does lie do to the soil? I guess I'll google it. :icon_study:

I don't think lime will hurt anything. I think it just makes the soil less acidic.

You've got gloves, I assume. If you end up with burn-holes in the knees of your pants, you should stop. ;D

I'd do it.


Now if they've just sprayed the field with some of that liquid shyt--then STAY AWAY. :o

(trust me on that one.)

So you've found out.... GC.

Lime is no prob.

It's a common soil amendment.

At most it would dry your hands out a bit.

Wash off well when you're done and perhaps a little bit of hand lotion.

Best
