[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 303590, member: 9"] People do it! I don't know anything about Georgia farm/ranch land, but assume when you mention "lime" your soil pH is on the acid side. The best pasture land has tilth/friability, hold adequate moisture (without drying out or staying soggy wet), free of tons of rocks, weeds, and trash vegetation. Having been in the landscaping business in years past, we did a lot of soil amending with high clay & caliche soils? Took a lot of work, bringing in few inches of quality topsoil, tilling it in, and adding any other needed amendments, fertilizer. HOWEVER, it's not practical to add good soil to a pasture...lol. I'd do comprehensive soil testing (and percolation tests, if needed) and add soil amendments as needed. Consult with your Extension service or Land Grant Ag University (Range Management Department). Select pasture grass(es) appropriate for your locale. May take couple of years to bring it into proper production. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
