Ric, Thanks for the info look forward to reading it. Greg thanks for your comments as well. Today makes the 4th day since I added 200 lbs(hydrated lime) to my 2.5 acre lake and the alkalinity has not moved. It is still about 16. I went ahead and fertalized yesterday. I will advise you as to what happens. The only thing I can come up with is that my soil must be very acidic. Thanks to all you guys who have commented on this. I am beginning to think that my Cole Parmer kit is not any good. Just cant imagine after 20 tons of agriculture lime over 2 years I cant get above 20ppm. Even after the addition of the hydrated lime it does not move. My kit was just purchased this year so it should be good.
