Dan, thanks and great advice. Your probably right, knowing me the way I do, I'll try too hard. I have an hunch it's pretty good soil and I've purchased 5, 40lb bags of pelletized lime. I also have to 2, 2.5 gallon jugs of Aggrene liquid lime which says 1-3 oz per gallon of water and for field use, 1-4 gallons per 70-100 gallons of water. Without a ph soil test, what would you surmise on how much I actually use. I know the pelletized lime will take time to work in and I read that for spring planting, it should have been limed in the fall....I was thinking I would spread the lime now when it's moist there and then work it into the soil and then spray the liquid lime on the surface.

What is the results of over liming? The feed mill said I probably couldn't over lime...that I'm concerned with.

The mill guy recommended 2 40 lb bags for the 1/4 acre however a coworker who went to college for landscaping and hordiculture(sp) recommended at least 5 lbs....thusly I'm thinking the extra liquid lime as well.

Again guys, you can't imagine how much I appreciate the advice for a newbie like me. I know bows, this I'm a rookie.

And I'll remember to smile, especially behind a big buck with the bow across his chest.
