Can you get a lime truck out to your plots?

ENM (effective neutralizing material) of your lime would need to be figured - generally the quarry will know it. Soil test will tell you how much ENM you will need to reach your pH goal. Lime is cheap, trucking and spreading will cost as much usually. I would not hesitate to put 3 tons per acre down and probably opt for 4 ton as I don't want to address the issue for another few years.

If no truck access - pellet lime is your only option and does have a better ENM calculation - bag should say on it - but again you may be packing 4o-50 or more bags with you on an atv. You generally can not put down too much lime unless it begins to look like a gravel road....

Not one person has suggested a lime spreader truck.
And it seems you're making stuff up as you go, 200 lbs on over an acre? Top dressing 200 lbs of even pelletized lime isn't going to much of anything. If you don't know what you're talking about, why are you here trying to make fun of those that do?

WRONG !!!! Been doing this for 40 years. That's the problem with lots of people they are basing lime application on dry powder form spread in a cloud of dust and which is mostly washed off with a hard rain.Plus the potency (as stated ) is no where as strong. The pelletized form is about 15- 20 times more efficient than lime in dust form . The rain activates it and it dissolves much slower . Therefore run off is less of an issue. Another question is that NO ONE has mentioned is when and how the PH test was taken. was it one grab from one plot. Or was it 3-6 composite FROM EACH ONE ???? How long has it been since he fertilized? When was the last rain. You will be surprised how much money is wasted just because someone says " oh throw some lime on it "!!!!! That was my first question . IF the clover looks healthy AND it is a pain to get to the fields why bother? BUT on that small of an area 200 lbs of PELLETIZED lime will change the PH quite a bit based on the FACTORS I mentioned... PLUS what type of clover . Some thrive in lower PH than others. The plants themselves will tell you more than the "grab soil test"

Hope you know the difference in a "grab " versus composite"

Now still wonder if I know what I'm talking about .......................

Soil test was done by kansas state university. The guy that done it accompanied it with a letter stating his recommendation for potassium and phosphorus. He just said the ph was a little low and I should consider adding some lime he didn't say how much or what kind . The guy in coop said 10 or 12 bags of pellets for my 1.3 acres. I believe he said 1000 lbs per acre of regular lime.

Yes and Bucks n bears claimed on here he has killed over 400 deer. Then an older gentleman figured that he had to average around 16 per year. He left that thread so fast his shadow didn't know where he went

Ok guys remember he has FIVE 5 plots that total 1.3 acres. Geez that's two yards in a subdivision. You want him to roll up in an agr spreading truck. Forget the formulas, scientific notations, dept of agriculture proposes , just get you 4-5 bags of pelletized lime spread it until you run out . Pray for rain before it frost or freezes . Then set in your stand a shoot a deer.
Lot of things more difficult than making your clover green and grow faster .................
