[QUOTE="doorknob, post: 1419884, member: 1240"] I wish I could find my soil tests for a short term no-till field that I have. It showed in just a few seasons, the entire nutrient profile becomes as they say "stratified". When I takes samples, I take 3 samples per probe. 0-2", then 3-6", then 7-12". It shows the lime leaching downward as well as other nutrients. As to working in the lime,,............well,..........on a dd page we are supposed to say no. But in reality, it depends on the grind of the lime. We have a newer lime available to us thru one of our local dealers, that is very fine grind. It is even screened to insure even particle size and is supposed to be fine enough to not need incorporation. We have used it on a couple fields now with good results as far it's effectiveness and speed of action. But I cant speak as to how rapidly it works it's way into the profile. We do have a very active and high population of worms as well as the rainfall to carry it. Just need to take some samples sometime to see. I dont care what anyone says, if you have a need to set your field up before going into a new less disturbance system, then do so. I have done it and it has really helped. Let the purists thump on their no-till bible. There is nothing wrong with setting things up for a new system even if it involves tillage. [/QUOTE]
