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.

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.

Would it not stand to reason that your nutrient level could be increasing because they aren't as available to the plants due to low ph?

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?

Looking good bambam....Thanks for the update. Something to start training your eye to is plant color. When conditions are right then your plants will be a DEEEP green. Plants that have a very light green color or geenish yellow....or if you're seeing any reds and purples....then these are signs of nutrient deficiencies or stress.
Lighting can make a big difference in a picture but from what I;m seeing your field still has a greenish-yellow look to it. My guess is its needing some nitrogen but it would be good to send in a soil sample just to see how everything else looks like.... P,K, pH......Go ahead and add your other bag of 13-13-13 next trip. It would be good if you had a little 33-0-0 as well to put out but its no big deal if you don't.

I think I'll drink the kool-aid and do the throw-n-mow thing. Yoda will then give me a pass on proper Ph and throwing down good ol' trip 13. No pass if ya plow.
