Bump.

This thread has been invaluable to me as a new homeowner. The previous owners apparently cared very little for lawn care so I've had my work cut out.

Question:

I recently received the results of two soil tests for my front and back yards from LSU Ag and both tests show that I have relatively acidic soil (5.4 & 5.8) and very high Calcium (1930 & 2400 ppm). The recommendation was to add Lime which I know is the common recommendation for increasing the pH, but this seems odd to me since it will increase Ca.

Any insight into this situation? I can provide more info on other elements if necessary.

Great thread, thanks!

I haven't been on here lately so I missed this being brought up. The 4L in Simizine 4L and Atrazine 4L is not a volume indicator. It is a strength/concentration indicator. I'm not positive, I'll have to look into it when I get back but its something like 4g/L.

Bootlegger, what is the application rate/acre for Simizine and Atrazine 4L I can't seem to find that.
