Does anyone have any recommendations for someone that will deliver and spread ag lime +\- compost in the Sandyhook, MS area? I need about 5 tons of lime and was going to add cow compost for the other 5 tons as I need organic material per all my soil tests. I have been in contact with a gentlemen in Tylertown but can not get back in touch with them and am running out of time. It’s about 3.5 acres worth of plots, high ground that stays dry (not swampy), with the plots that are easy to get to by roads/trails. Any help appreciated!

Amite county coop sells ag lime and believe they will spread it too. They are in Liberty.

Keep in mind when spreading lime that about the most the soil can absorb in one application is 2 tons. So if a soil sample is calling for 5 tons in one place better to put that out in multiple trips rather than one.

Good luck with the AG lime search, we are north of you and it gets harder and harder to find a spreader to spread AG lime.

Option B: plant tillage radish in your plots this fall then plow in April and plant buckwheat and sunflowers. Next fall seed your preferred food plot seed and mow what’s standing to cover seeds and fertilize heavily. The biomass from decaying spring plantings will increase your ph naturally plus you’ll always have something growing for the deer.

Soil test called for anywhere from 2.5-3.5 tons per acre. Since I’m not tilling it in, it also recommended to to 1 ton/acre. I will have to repeat that yearly until pH is corrected.

Tillage raddish will grow well in low pH? Plots are in between 5.2 and 5.6. Tillage indicates you have to till which I don’t have a tractor, hence not tilling in the ag lime if/when I can get it.

I had some guys go out and look at the plots a few days ago, but still not on the books.

Also I sprayed the plots in April but with all the rain, native grasses are knee to waist high. AI said not problem to through the ag lime/compost right on top of it and let it soak in over time. But gotta getting someone to do it too first. If I can’t find someone to do it, I guess I’ll move on and figure out what might grow this fall.

Yes, radishes will grow in acidic soil but not sure how’d they do without touching bare soil. You could try broadcasting some cheap mustard seed in one corner and driving an atv over and over until the grass/weeds are matted over and broadcast some triple 13 fertilizer and check it in 2 weeks. If you have mustard sprouts coming through the grass mat, plant your tillage radish this fall the same way.

Yes, the truck they have is too big to make the turns into the the plots. They have been super nice though.
