Bulk ag lime, like they use in the fields.

Hard telling what all ends up in the loader bucket when they scoop it up, or for that matter, what's stuck in the dump truck corners from the last load.
Never heard of buying ag lime in a bag.

All the Alkali you can get . It's all about trying to bring the PH to the acidic.
Spuds love it.

Adding more Alkali will raise the pH and make it more basic.

I think I said that poorly. We are already way to the alkali side. That is why
we don't add lime.

Nice rig! It's fun to solve a problem and use your talents, maybe some sand mixed would help with the clumping. My dad was always adding stuf to his garden, manure, lime, sand, leaves. It all depended on how the garden produced the year before. No internet, just the knowledge he acquired throughout his lifetime.

Gary C,,,,,,,mixing sand in?????? That is a very good suggestion.It would create more work,but if it works it would be worth it.
