Both recommended the addition of Nitrogen to the soil this spring ; not to add lime, but no other recommendations.
I've added a lot of organic material in late fall, manure 12 yds. and rye cover crop, plus 5yds. hay and crushed leaves all after soil test.
Should I lime, how much? Any recommended Nitrogen etc. from seasoned growers would be helpful, Thanks.
