Small lime applications boost clover yields on lime-needing soils
Agricultural experiments show 500 to 1000 pounds of ground limestone per acre greatly increases clover growth on lime-deficient soils. Recommend demonstrations mixing 250 lb acid phosphate with 750 lb limestone, applying 1000 lb per acre, and drilling with wheat or rye if possible. Seed treated land to wheat or rye then red or sweet clover next February. Burnt lime at half rate may be used.
