Hi, Mary:
Another thing to keep in mind is that a change in pH from 5.5 to 6.5 is
actually a tenfold change. pH is a logarithmic function. Regardless, it
could take about 6 months to see any pH change.
Why not sample several areas about 4" from the top and mix them in a bag.
Then take a composite of that sample into a plastic bag and send it to your
extension service for pH and soil nutrition (N-P-K). It probably will cost
about $10, but you'll get the accurate rate of lime and fertilizer needed.
Hostally,
