A. Lime can be safely applied to grassland at any time of the year. It is important to ensure that lime is well washed off grass before stock graze it, as it can cause scouring. Lime should not be applied to silage fields in the Spring prior to cutting or between cuts as any traces of lime in the pit would have a negative impact on preservation.
