I expect to get some soil analysis of our new place so as to become  
more smart about the "dirt" and what to do for it.  We won't have a  
herd of cattle or more than a couple horses to get natural treatment  
from.

Recently I stopped by a  monster lime spreader truck at the roadside.  
I had just finished spreading lime on a  field.  From that, I assume  
you can hire folks with such specialized spreaders and access to tons  
and tons of lime to do the job.

There IS a lime kiln near by here of huge size, but I have no idea  
what the situation is in New York.
