RE: Just got soil test back ,need help!
 

Sag; you just threw another curve. Based on your info for weakly buffered soils >.6 below the optimum pH FLdeerman needs to add 2 tons of lime. It's interesting information; I've just got to get the columns to line up.

Ok Dan and Sag lets keep this simple.I can get some 0-20-20 in 50 pound bags,think that will work?I'll check on the other mixes.

Dan, Yeah, that didn't cut and paste too well. What I found interesting was the total separation between mineral and organic type soils. It seemed organic type soils allowed for a lower pH???

FlDeerman, simple is very good. 0-20-20 would be perfect.

Fldeerman; I believe you can get away with 800 lb of 0-20-20. You'll be adding extra phosphorus but it won't hurt the clover.

You need to look at sag's info though. It says you should add lime add 2 tons per acre. The extra won't hurt when you're under aiming the pH at 6.5. It will actually give you a longer neutralizing effect. You may not have to add more lime for 5-10 years.

I've got the lime part down and now I know how to add the rest.I have to do this with a hand and push spreader so it will be done a little at a time.I'm going to add each at the end of each season to keep my plots going.Thanks for ALL the info!
