Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Soil questions Lime for Pond Bed

Central MS has all kinds of soil types. 'State says: "Ponds in the Delta generally do not need additional lime, and ponds in the Black Belt and thick and thin loess soils need only small amounts. Ponds in the red clay hills of north and central Mississippi usually need 2 tons of lime per acre, and the sandy soils of South Mississippi usually need 2 to 3 tons of lime per acre."

TLDR: 5 tons/acre sounds like a lot.
