[QUOTE="gman4691, post: 1848944, member: 43107"] Make sure to check the pH if you are planning on adding nutrients. If the pH isn't right for your grasses, the plants won't be as efficient in using those nutrients. Working on what has historically been a somewhat neglected pasture now. The coastal Bermuda will do best at a pH of 5.8 to 6.5. My soil test showed a pH of 5.96 so I'll include about 1.25 to 1.5 tons of dolomitic lime per acre with about 3.5 tons of chicken litter per acre. Needed some N & P along with some calcium and magnesium. It will take some time for the lime to start working. Think marathon as opposed to a sprint when trying to bring soils up to speed. Some additives work fairly fast while some takes a little time. Remember the Law of Minimums…the vegetation will only do as well as the soil nutrient in the shortest amount will allow. [/QUOTE]
