You should talk to your chemical dealer. Some herbicides have a higher risk of carry-over in high ph conditions. And your surface will be higher with the lime on top.
That said, most tillage will only mix it in the top few inches.
We are vertical tilling some stalks right now after a lime application. More so to gain a day or two faster planting if we have a wetter spring.
The lime with dissolve in with time.
No idea your location so your conditions could be much different.
Good call. I suppose that will always be true however the pass in the spring with the field cultivator will get it off the very top?

I’d say it’s heavy alright, 3-10% OM. We have many fields that are 1.5-3.0% OM.
We’ve applied lime in the fall several years now without working it in. Frost and some rain will help keep it in place.
Well I was a bit generous... Its mostly 3-7. The area is SW Minnesota.
