[QUOTE="littletom, post: 1574445, member: 23522"] All lime is not the same from quarry to quarry. But six tons is alot. I have kind made a mess out of one lease field 4 years ago. The fall I got it was 5.4 i was a little scared of that. So that fall as soon as the farmers corn came off i put 5 tons. The next spring i mold board plowed it, then put down 4 tons and disk it in. This spring and last spring the ph was 7.8 i have to now add boron or have leaf drop. Becareful with putting a bunch. When i put the 5 it looked like a parking lot. Last fall I had a 6.1 so i put 3 tons no change to this march usually that brings it up .2 so 2 weeks ago i put 3 more. The amount of n and sulphur we put on tobacco smokes ph pretty bad. Uk agronomist tells me pelleted lime is slower because the glue has to break down. I am going to put it on a food plot this summer. Can not in any way get a truck in there. It is 5.1 now also interested to watch how it brings it up over time. [/QUOTE]
