Beneficial use and recycling of organic and mineral resources
Lime Mud

Lime Mud consists of calcium carbonate that is converted from quick lime in a Maine Paper Mill's kiln. Lime Mud can be spread with typical fertilizer spreading equipment.

With a calcium carbonate equivalence of 98%, Lime Mud is a high potency, highly reactive agricultural liming agent.  Lime Mud has a moist, fine texture and provides an immediate pH benefit to soil.

  • pH: 11.5 (average)
  • Calcium:  541.1 lbs/ton
  • Phosphorus:  5.9 lbs/ton
  • Magnesium:  4.1 lbs/ton
  • Lime equivalency:  1.8 tons of Lime Mud equals 2 tons of commercial lime

Lime Mud is spread through standard rear discharge or slinger manure spreaders at rates of 1.8 tons per acre.  Available in Central Maine.  

Recommendations

Agriculture

An application rate of 2.1 tons/acre is equivalent to the liming value of two tons of commercial lime. Actual application rate should be based on soil analyses and crop(s) to be grown.
