Seriously
It's never come up before. Our soils here are are very akaline and I've never heard of someone having to spread lime. (although I hear you guys/gals talk about it back east).
So, went up to bid this lady in the mountains (about 8500 feet) and she says "nothing grows"
I say "let's do a soil test"
Ok
So, we do and the results came back.
105lbs of nitrogen per acre (which is an unbelievable number in itself) and "to raise PH to 6.5 add 4 to 5 tons of lime per acre".
I don't even know where to get it.
How do you apply it?
Teach me easterners.
