To report on Alan’s aim to lime 20% of the farm each year and reprot that now, five years later, that aim is just about achieved.
Key messages
The only way to accurately know your soil pH is to send a sample for a laboratory test (soil testing kits are available from the PIRSA Office in Kingscote).
Have a look at the on-line acidity tools . They are easy to use and extremely helpful in guiding liming decisions.
Liming will pay for itself, often in the first year.
