Default RE: Dan O. Soil testor

Dan,
The Lime was added over a three year period. Prior to planting this plot I added some more, at a rate of less than a ton per acre.I had assumed that the prior years lime had been partly consumed. Everything was already in the soil before I got the testor. Usually the soil here has a low PH. Small part sand, mostly clay. I also put some wood ash from our fireplace insert on the plot. Another plot planted this year is completely surounded with timber, equal mix Pine and Oaks. I put lime on it at about 1 t on per acre (quarter acre plot.) I' m going to check it with the checker and see where it comes in at. I may also send part of the sample in to check again.
Russ
