Default RE: Too much lime?

Well, I limed because everything I've read indicates that it takes 3-6 months to affect soil pH. I want to plant in March/April. Also, there was an ice/snow storm predicted and moisture has been hard to come by around here for quite some time. Didn't want to miss the opportunity for the melting to help leach the lime down into the soil. I've seen some charts that show how much lime per acre will affect pH in different types of soils, but now I can't find one. I'm pretty sure, though, that with my soil type it requires a ton per acre to bump pH .5 points. Basically, I got to excited to wait for the results to come back. Oh well, it's mainly an excuse to get out on the land after season's over with anyway.
