Expert Discusses Soils Chemistry and Lime Use

County agricultural agent Brooks W. Daugherty explains that vegetables need moderate soil acidity and calcium, with a target pH around 6.5. Lime should be worked into soil months before planting, using hydrated lime for speed or ground limestone for lasting effect, with about 1500 pounds of hydrated lime equivalent to 2000 pounds of ground limestone. A ton of ground limestone every four years keeps soil sweet, depending on soil conditions and crop rotation. The article also notes York Imperial was the most popular apple in West Virginia, accounting for nearly 40 percent of 3,036,000 bushels produced, followed by Grimes Golden and other varieties.
