It appears that I can't get a soil acidifying chart through without the list-serv screwing it up but, at least, my last attempt at doing so yielded a messed-up chart that can be figured out. Henceforth, let's do it this way: If you need the information, contact me off line. Okay?

I found an asp file online with acidifying soil information. I sent it
to myself twice and it held together so let's see what the NAFEX list-serv
will do to it:
