Are you generally quite acidic then with that high of a rainfall?With 1980-2010 rainfall average of 1800mm, are you better with fewer larger applications, or more regular smaller ones, given that the soil is probably about pH 5.5-5.7
Is there any really keen arable/dairy boys who are soil testing every 3-4 years etc up your way?I think the vast majority of fields around these parts would be quite acidic yes. There is a quarry on the south of the island supplying a coarse mag lime, but having been used quite extensively in the past, ground will be getting too high in mag I reckon, did some samples years ago on a farm here and levels were all high or very high, one was off the chart. Maybe this was large chunks of it left in the sample and ground before analysis skewing the results, don’t know, no idea how long the bigger bits take to break down, if they do at all.
