Re: soil

    Your pelted lime requirements will vary with your soil type and cation
ion exchange.  Clyde is probably close with the 1 lb/100ft2 recommendation.
It may only raise your pH from 5.5 to 6.0 but you can always retest and
apply more.  Pelted lime is a fairly short term fix and may need yearly
reapplications.
