I'm putting an estimate together to lime treat some horse paddocks and had a question about how to compact it. I'll be scarrifying 6-8 inches, adding the lime, tilling it in 6-8 inches deep, adding water, and compacting. I was wondering what equipment I should use to get the best compaction. At just 6-8 inches I'm figuring on using a smooth drum roller (no sheepsfoot). Is it better to vibrate, or just roll? I'm also not sure exactly how much water to add to the lime/soil mix. If anyone has any experience doing this then please chime in. I'll be happy to hear any suggestions.
