A friend told me several years ago to apply half the recommended lime on pastures, take a soil test in two years and see how much progress I made. We use ag lime on pastures because it has a longer impact than pelletized. We've been able to make pretty good progress without breaking the bank. Hope this is helpful - mac
Quoting Vern and Amy <vaspencer AT sisna.com>:
We have about 5 acres of mixed veggies and 50 acres of hay/pasture
to adjust pH. I guess I should contact other farmers around here to
find out how they do it. The only pelletized lime I have found is
Dolomite, and I already have plenty of Mg, which I think dolomite adds
to. The local farm store doesn't even carry lime, except dolomite. Our
area is not very agricultural anymore--not the best place to grow (soil
and weather). I might have to check with folks 50 miles out of town. Any other input is welcome. Thanks.
