[QUOTE="toughntender, post: 1250721, member: 21587"] What is the actual chemical reaction between lime and nitrogen? Our fert guy was telling us about how you can take fine ground lime, get it wet, and mix it and a urea pellet between your fingers, and almost instantly smell the ammonia. I've never done it, but it makes sense. In regards to the original question, I was always told that you are paying for lime whether you actually apply it or not. This is because of the reduced yields caused by the low ph. Dollar for dollar you are better off correcting ph first before applying the other fertilizers. [/QUOTE]
