[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1662688, member: 40881"] If you want "natural" and natural restoration then your true datum is what the particular soil type was/is like without disturbance. 100+ years of cotton plus erosion or even cutting timber or hay crops alter the natural. In our old clay type soils just removing the tree crop removes most P and with 2 crops of plantation pines there is little P left. Think in terms of a total 7 to 12 pounds of P2O5/acre remaining. That ought to make the crops jump! So you either cripple along at low nutrient type production for 20 to 30 years to begin to restore or you add some chicken litter or other nutrients to jump start the process and see some decent production before they wheel you out toes up.
