Mark, Your CEC tells how much "stuff" your soil can hold. Yours is kind of
medium light, so you'll have to add more than someone with a real sandy
soil, but your soil will do a pretty good job of holding whatever you give
it. If you had a really high CEC and low pH, you'd be adding lime for years
to bring up the pH. Ditto for many nutrients. Donna
