The idea struck me tonight that I can lime my new no till plot area for next year after I'm done rifle hunting next week. It got me to thinking about how quickly the lime will take effect and whether I may need to lime again next year at some point. I came across a decent article from the K State extension service. I can't say I completely understand my situation because my soil sample didn't have a CEC rating. But based on the high buffer capacity I have, I'll go light and maybe test in the spring when I plant.
I know for sure I'm gonna put on 50lbs of N/acre to start, another 50 at 6-8 weeks, and pell lime at a half ton/acre this fall. I just realized that my sulfur levels are low. I haven't even considered how much sulfate I put on this summer, but perhaps AMS was a good choice for that as well.
Here's the article: http://www.ksre.k-state.edu/news/story/applying_lime020613.aspx
