S.T.Fanatic's Land Tour

The upside is, if he tackles this with a lime campaign over time, that OM will start working and give back a lot of nutrients.

Picked up 500# of lime today. Probably do that once a month over the next couple of months. Depending on their application rate I’ll more than likely take my dump trailer to the quarry to get a few tons later this fall.

I'm no AG guy, but adding pelletized lime on top of snow worked for us at camp. Maybe add some of that in winter too?? Snow melt seemed to get the lime into the soil quicker at our camp. Beyond that ... I'm no help at soil test formulas. Good luck with your plot, though!
 
Turns out that it isn't going to be to bad to amend the soil. They gave me the recomendation of 8000#/acre to get to about a 6.0 PH
The plot is only about a 1/4 acre so 1 Ton of ag lime. The quarry that the best AG lime in our area come from is only about a half hr away. In about 20 days the alfalfa will come off again and I'll be able to drive a truck and trailer to the plot and dump the Ag lime. They said let it go two years and pull a sample again.
