"Garden Lime" means, to anyone I know, very finely pulverized limestone with the consistency of flour and sold in little bags marked "Garden Lime" and will have the same chemical components assuming it came from the same quarry, as granulated limestone, which is delivered and spread in huge trucks, the difference being that the finely pulverized garden lime will act faster in the soil, something the gardener would probably be in favor of but not necessarily the farmer, and it will cost a good deal more money. The farmer wants something that will keep working in the soil for years and will not be so costly as he is working with hundreds of acres vs the gardener who works in a few square feet. Otherwise, it's perfectly OK to spread ag lime in gardens. And yes, I'm very familiar with limestone as we have limestone quarry operations all over Wisconsin. I'm not so interested in dolomite lime anymore as we don't have cattle, other than deer, and my soils have adequate magnesium as per soil tests. Your quarry may or may not be into bagging and selling little bags of garden lime. Some do, some don't. It takes special equipment but also is a good source of revenue. Something akin to selling little ricks of firewood vs cord sized loads.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
