I'm doing the first liming next week on a pasture we're renovating. The average ph is 5.5 right now. On one 20 acre side which was formerly planted in winter annuals but has been abandoned for 10 years or so, there are a lot of weeds, with a big stand of broomsedge bluestem.
I know the rule of thumb is 1 ton of lime per acre, but am I better off adding 2 tons to this side to help neutralize the acidity? Or is it better to do a ton now, and another ton in the spring or so?
