Oops. Didn't see that.

Really? That's amazing you have that high a pH. I'm surprised you have so many ferns, too.

Our pH is low and we have lots of ferns, blueberry bushes, hemlocks, etc...

The last plot we did in the woods, we hit the ferns with Round-Up. Once the ferns were brown, we raked them all out. Then we limed and fertilized. Waiting for some rain in the forecast before seeding.
