AA, I planted my first plot this year and I planted clovers, brassicas, rapes, turnips, rye grass and what ever else was in the mixture. My clovers are coming on strong and I'm actually impressed so far with the crop. This field was a weed/CRP/goldenrod field for 30 years. Check out my Update link #4 for pics.

Anyway, your obviously doing the right thing by getting your PH level right the first time and these guys sure helped me. If you can have it delivered it certainly is the way to go. I've been told by some experts(?) that liming more than 3 ton an acre is wasting money as the soil cannot absorb more than that and you'll loose it in run off etc...if you can, minimize your liming the first time and then lime a second time if necessary.

What I did was not the right way but it's working so far. Once I sprayed and killed the weeds I went in and disc'd it up. It took a lot for the field I was doing because it had been so dry so I went in after a hard rain and tore it up making a mess. Once it dried I went back and spread 200 lbs of pelletized lime on 1/3 acres, not quite a 1/2 acre and then I disc'd it in smoothing out the ground. I then sprayed liquid lime because of the 6 mo. expectant date of the pelletized lime. I'm sure some of the pelletized was absorbed however I still sprayed Aggrene Liquid Lime...shortly after I spread the seed.

Here's the last pic several weeks ago after I mowed and before this last good rain.
