[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5407710, member: 2805"] Throw thier interpretation away. I have no idea how they are coming up with their recommendations. You need more N and K than P... no idea why they would recommend generic 10-10-10. And you def don't need 600lbs of it. You want around 100lbs of 20-8-10 or so... that's more than enough for your small plots. As far as lime, with a pH of 5.6, you will need around 3 Tons per acre to get it up to around 6.4 or so. Ag lime is the cheapest, but you won't find anyone to spread it since you will only need around 750lbs or so... and it won't go through a cone spreader... you have to have a drop spreader.... Next best option is pelletized lime. That is easy to spread with a cone spreader, but can also be spread by hand. [/QUOTE]
