mix them together thoroughly, and send a pint sample of the mixed soil to the laboratory. . If part of the field has received a different lime, fertiliser, or cropping treatments, or is a different soil type, make separate samplings. Soil recorded sheets. and cartons for sending samples to the VPI soil testing laboratory are available from county .agents and other professional agricultural workers.
Lime is important. Apply enough to bring the pH to between 6.0 and 6.5, preferable 6.5. The nearer the pH is to 6.5 the longer it will be before liming is necessary again. Apply at least half the lime 30 days before seeding. If the soil is extremely acid, apply half the lime before plowing, then plow it down.
Most fields can profitably use 800 to 1,000 pounds of X complete fertilizer such as 2-12-12 or 5-1010 for seedings of tall grass and ladino pastures. Seeding time is' the only time fertilizer and lime can be worked deeply into the soil.
