Lime and Potash application
It was recommended to me through a soil test to add 4lbs/k of potash and 50lbs/k lime to my soil. I was going to apply the lime this spring and split applications of potash (2lbs/k spring and fall). I was just wondering what the timing should be for the applications. Lime first? Potash first? And how far apart should the applications be?

Re: Lime and Potash application
The application general guideline is to space out apps as far as possible, at least 2 weeks, but further is not going to hurt. That way, you prevent interactions. You have the right idea applying 1 lb of actual K20 at a time (2 lb/K of 0-0-50). Everything else is up to you.
