[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1381095, member: 25884"] We always figured that it was 2 years before any results from liming, and that any sod would take 3 years or so. We also do some ploughing and I am a bigger fan of that then constant chemicals. The earthworms that will get going on soil a little sweeter will get that lime etc incorporated down into the lower reaches. I also wouldn't worry about a 7.4 either. It will help keep any of the Briars from getting a foothold as they like lower ph soil. Just put in some good grasses and the clovers will come and go as the ground needs it and you can frost broadcast if needed. The cattle manure will take some of the ph down too, but they will also help the organic matter and the soil microbes will go to work on breaking it down. Graze it a little closer if nothing else, just give it a rest inbetween. The whole idea is to have it "overproducing" so that you get more from the amount of ground than you did before. Watch some of the trace minerals that often don't show up on standard soil tests. [/QUOTE]
