How much faster, do you have a url to these test results?

under the heading "Selecting a Liming Material" you'll see and read.

"The finer the limestone particles, the more
rapidly it becomes effective"

"The finer the grind of the limestone the faster
it will change the soil pH value."

I don't think we are disputing the fact that finer ground limestone
will work faster. But isn't pelletized aboput the same grind just
made into pellets with some kind of binder that dissolves quickly with
water?
