Grazing after liming??

[lucy_108]

We've just limed our fields with calcium lime from an aggregate company. The lime was applied on Tuesday and we've had some pretty heavy rain since. How long do people wait before grazing? Thanks to the heavy rain their current paddock is now trashed so I really need to move them soon but we've never limed before so I wasn't sure of the waiting period? As I say, we've had a fair whack of water on the field since it was put on.

We were told 2 weeks although it's a resting field anyway so not needed yet.

You just need the lime to be washed off the grass (as far as I know), so should probably be fine now. Take a look and check the grass doesn't have lime on it still.
