Liming A Chicken Yard

Categories: Soils, Fertilizers and Irrigation

I have a small family orchard of half an acre, fenced in as a chicken

yard, the soil of which has become very foul. When would be the best

time to apply lime and how much?



Put on 500 pounds of lime and plow under as soon as you can - that is,

spread the lime just before the plowing, with a shower or two on the

lime before plowing, if the weather runs that way.
