[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5740825, member: 2474"] Very common for soil test to call for 2-2.5 tons of lime per acre, without a test your just guessing. It'll also tell you what the fertilizer requirements are. To get a good stand of landino you need a ph of 6.0+. In spring use clethodim for grass & 24DB for broadleaf weeds. Pushed out a few new plots two years ago & did the soil test on them. They came back ranging from 4.2 - 5.8 ph. Can't get a lime truck or buggy to the 4.2 so I've spread a ton of pellitized lime by tractor the past two years. Bad part is that pellitized lime is short lived and pretty much needs to be done annually, where ag or dolomite is good for 3-5 yrs depending on soil. Late summer & early fall can be brutal on clover until fall rain & cooler weather arrives. It'll bounce back, especially if you hit it with 0-20-20 fert. When acorns wane, they should hit the clover.
