DEALER ROBERTS CHEVROLET-BUKK, INC "I I LIME AND YOUR GARDEN By: E. L. Dillingham County Extension Chairman Studies on the movement of lime in soils have shown (that ;ome downward move ment occurs but at a very slow rate. This is especially true for normal applications of lime such as those sug gested by the Soil Testing Division, states G. D. Mc- Cart, Soil Testing Agrono mist, with the N. C. Deoart ment of Agriculture. If a good liming program Is prac ticed, however, it is possible fo~ lime to have some effect to a greater depth in the soil. A good liming program weeks after this reporter returned home from the Hospital).

Most of us cannot afford to wait three or four years, or even two years for lime to move downward two or three Inches In the soil un less it 1* a long term crop such as established orchards or pastures. Even with these crops we slmu'd hot wait on the slow movement of lime If we can avoid it. The best u r e of lime is obtained when it Is mixed with the soli to n'ow depth. Sometimes this involves ap plying one-half of the sug gested lime befo r e plowing, and one-half after plowing, followed by disking. Crops planted shortly after liming can benefit from lime when It Is applied in this manner. Also, it Is much easier to maintain the best I'me level In the rooting zone of a . c oil with periodic surface appli- eat'ons of lime when the en tire plow layer has been adequately limed at time of planting. This fact Is espec ially Important when plant ire long term crops such as orchards and forage crops. L'me which Is well mixed with the soil w’ll become ef fective In a very short time. In other wmds. a soli test Is most valuable to you when you are planting a i n other words, a »01l test is most valuable to you when you are planting a crop, for that Is the time when you can most easily change its lime and fertility in the rooting zone of plants, shrubs, or trees.
