[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5291806, member: 2805"] Lime asap... get ph 6.5 to start with. As long as the ground is level (lime won't wash off), no need to disk. Pelletized lime works faster than ag lime.... but ag lime is way cheaper. Once I get ph to 6.5, I top dress with a little pelletized lime here and there. Fertilizer should be applied right around time of planting, and preferably right before a rain. Nitrogen will evaporate if put down too early. With the cost of fertilizer doubling this year, I'm not going to spend the money on fertilizer until AFTER I've planted and am sure I have a good stand this spring. Gives me the option of reseeding versus just having a weak summer crop, saving my $$$ for fall when it really counts. [/QUOTE]
