[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7541879, member: 416"] Your first paragraph is certainly not my experience. I consistently find one tonne of good quality ground lime to lift pH by at least half a pH point. I’m sure my customers would have noticed by now if that wasn’t the case. I agree with your last paragraph except that a bit of lime in a bulk sample of soil sent to a lab will affect the result. It won’t if it’s left as a fragment but if it is ground to a fine powder then it most certainly will. I’ve demonstrated a similar effect many times with my customers if we get talking on the subject of lab testing. We take a nice yellow/orange test tube sample and scrape a small amount of cement from the nearest wall or even a tiny bit of lime if I have some with me. Within seconds, the result has changed to a higher ph. As with many things theory and lab results can be one thing, practical results can be another. [/QUOTE]
