Will this spread fine lime such as a 60 mesh?

You'd have to read the instructions on the bag of lime as to what settings a rotary spreader would have to be set at.

I don't have my lime sack, so I cannot comment about 60 mesh. However it spread the lime pellets perfectly and by adjusting the setting I spread a second bag of lime that looked more like fine dirt. [I thought I was getting pellets and someone had laid it down in the wrong stack, no worries.]

The spreader can be used to apply lime. We recommend a setting of 10 to apply 30 lbs per 1000 sq. ft.; a setting of 7.5, going over the area twice to apply 40 lbs. per 1000, and a setting of 7, going over the area three times to apply 50 lbs. per sq. ft.

yes, it will. I would start with a rather shallow angle, increasing with each pass through.

No it will not. The suck falls off when you stretch it. Mesh is very thin when stretch which defeats the purpose of having it.

Haven't tried it but I am sure it would. It is pretty fine mesh so I am sure it would work.

Hi, i had never use it for this special use, but if I need it I surely use it... You do not need to apply a large quantity, only a dab but we'll distributed and also you need to press it constantly for better adhesion, maybe with a stick from the central console or something. But I am sure it will work fine!

I used it to spread powdered lime - I set it on the lightest setting and made several rounds to ensure even coverage. principle should be the same for small seeds. Hopefully other more experienced gardeners/farmers can give a more precise answer.

It can, but it is harder to fine tune the amount being spread. Because it is "high output" the opening can go much wider than a normal spreader but it can be closed down, just not accurately. (think of it as having an output scale of 0-100 vs 0-20)

If it's the same thickness as texture it would do it, but resin will dry much faster so if your going to use it, just use a small amount at a time. Good luck

Yes. You may have to press down the lime with your hand over the rotating core.

Probably not. This stuff REALLY expands. If you tried, you would probably have to do a LOT of cutting/removing excess over-spray.

I dont think it would spread well. Very thick when mixed. Would also be very costly for much space.

this spreader works like a regular drop spreader so there is no reason it would not work spreading lime.

No. Commercial fertilizer in granular form or seed is all this will spread. Northern tools offers a small manure spreader.

Absolutely! It spreads pretty well. I bought 2 tubes half way through last summer and haven't even finished one with two children. (Granted, I did not use during winter months)

This machine does a great spreading job for powdered lime and other soil sweeteners if the material is kept dry .Also tall wet grass should not be allowed to contact the discharge slot or the lime will get wet and clog up and then not spread

I would not try to use this tool to spread lime. It does not have an adequate mechanism for agitating the lime to keep it flowing in my opinion.

I don't think you can spread anything other than dry, non clumping materials that would slide through narrow slits. The unit has slots/slits that the opening can be adjusted, and a rotating paddle bar helps sweep the materials into the slots. Not big enough for any kind of gravel either. It is made for seed and fertilizer.
