The pellets are much easier to spread since it doesn't clog the
spreader as bad as the pulverized variety. They are basically the same
product otherwise.

That's incorrect. The pelletized "lime" sold in big box stores is
actually limestone (calcium carbonate).

No, it is correct actually.

He's speaking of agricultural lime and the difference between the
pelletized and pulverized variety's, in which case there is no difference
besides a bonding agent to hold the pellets together.



I agree. The lime products associated with cement are not found at
garden shops. What you buy at the garden shop is suitable for lawns,
regardless of the form. And I agree that the pelitized form is much
easier and less messy to apply, though more expensive.
