Any recommendation of a more specific alkalinity meter/test would be appreciated.My supplier is having a had time catching his intermediate CNBG so I'm sitting on 2000 (intermediate) CNBG 1000 fingerling RES/1000 fingerling native BG/4000 FHM....10.5 surface acres moving to 14 with more rain Have ordered 2000 more intermediate CNBG but it could be another month. At this very early stage I think I will not fertilize until I can evaluate feed program/waste contribution to bloom and raise my alkalinity in the late fall with additional lime. Seems I need to evaluate myself as a manager as well for a year/or two before committing to fertilize.I'm proactive by nature so sitting on the side of fertilizing has been tough but just too many things point to waiting.Any suggestions fire away....
