I read all about liming and even talked to the grain elevator today about buying some lime to apply at the suggested ton per acre rate. I thought before I do that I should at least take a pH reading...guess what...my pH is off the chart. It showed as high as two of my testers could read. In the 8.2 to 8.4 or higher range. I also did an alkalinity test...600ppm... I knew my ground water had high alkalinity as I use shallow well water for drinking and for my pool. I always have to add acid to my pool water after adding any well water.
I know if I was planting crops my readings would suggest the need for sulphur. Is there anything I should do about the high pH or alkalinity?
thanks!
