Why is your ph still so low?

My guess is it’s likely that my base saturation levels of Ca and maybe K aren’t high enough. I wish they provided a little more detailed report on the soil test but heck it is just $7. I figure I probably need to be running around 1200-1400 lbs of Ca in my soil before the pH will balance out in the 6’s. So I’ll be adding more lime….but its in order to keep filling up the bucket and not replace Ca that I’m losing. That's an important thing to recognize on your own soils.

Are you trying to keep your ph in the mid 5's?

CNC what a douchebag way to address what I do for a living you idot. I'll tell you this I treat every one of my customers fields as if it were mine. A lot of the time I have to tell them not to spray this or plant that when they give me the opportunity where I could have said do this or that and it would have been more expensive. I stay on acres that way. You need to get a grip on reality cause you're head is way up your ass.

Heck no….What gave you that idea?

I really didn’t mean for it to be either sugar coated nor douche baggy…..I was just trying to put it in simpler terms that Ol’ DW would understand better.

I think this sunn hemp is gonna be the real deal. I like what I see so far. I put down 250 lbs of 17-17-17 per acre and 15lbs of seed.

Seems like you're adding just enough lime to sustain the current levels, but not enough to raise it.

I added what the soil test called for a year ago….actually more because the truck showed up with closer to 5 tons. I waited 6-7 months and tested and my pH and Ca were both on a sharp climb upward. Now I’ve tested 6-7 months after that and I’m planning to make adjustments as needed. I don’t see how I could have done it whole lot differently other than just brought in more lime blindly this spring. One thing to consider too is that my OM% is on a steep climb in these first few years and that means my nutrient holding capacity is also on the rise. So as my ability to hold more Ca goes up then it requires filling the bucket on up to balance things out between the positives and the negatives. Even when I get my Ca up to 1200 lbs per acre….if my OM% is still going up and my holding capacity is still climbing….then I will still add more lime at that time as well because then the balancing point may be 1600 lbs/ac or 1700 lbs acre. The idea though is that we are getting more fertile and more fertile along the way. Having 2000 lbs of Ca per acre available to your plants is a whole lot different than having 300-400 lbs. This is all dependant though on which direction you are going with your organic matter…..increasing or decreasing.

Why don't you come up to my dove shoot. And explain it to me the same way. Then maybe I can understand it!!!! See how that works.

Your posts on here have a me a little uneasy about attending with all of your homosexual references to shoving stuff down each other’s throats. What kind of dove hunt is this exactly anyways? Do y’all have a name for it?

All joking aside, he's offered his land up to young hunters and adults whom otherwise may not have a place to hunt.

Fact. Ol milk man is good people. I seriously doubt he gets sexually excited over dirt.

Now milk cows is a whole different ball game. Oh and he has been known to hit a ass a time or two.
