[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1828395, member: 25884"] Depends on if you need more magnesium in your soil... low mag tests will have the land benefitting more from Dolomite lime with the increased mag levels. More than 2-3 ton to the acre is not going to "fix it" any faster... more will only increase the cost with little benefit shown. especially if it is "dust" as it will blow away or leach out of the soil in heavy rain. The ground will benefit more from applying it every other year than all at once. but then that is added costs of spreading... If you spread manure from your own animals, have it analyzed... some feed stuffs will result in higher levels of different nutrients and you might be able to increase your magnesium indirectly through that also... have to watch the phos levels with certain manures too....
