farm hunter; what's the pH of your soil? With my limestone base rock my soil is 7.5 - 8.0. Most people talk about raising pH, I need to go the other way to grow some plants. There's so much exposed rock, that my neighbour is trying to open a marble/dolostone quarry next door.

In our area their recommending against using exotic species such as Scots Pine or Norway Spruce. Some species are invasive, others disease prone, still others less useful to wildlife than North American species.
