oak trees

Peter on TV

Hi Ian
The pH 5.7. Also on this paddock I have to put on 0.2 of Gypsum as well. The Lime is cheap, the Gypsum around $72.00 a ton , but the cartage is $74.00 a ton for the lot

Thank you for that Ian. I have had my soil tested with SWEP and they recommended a lot of lime 1.9 tons to the hectare, I was a bit surprised as the country has natural limestone outcrops and has never been supered
