I couldn't live without this tractor. There's no way we'd be able to do half the stuff we do without it. It's one of the best things I've ever bought.
Our soil is actually quite acidic. I tested our bottomland once and it came back at a pH of 4.3. I do have a pile of ground limestone that I ordered many years ago and from time to time I'll take a bucket out of that and spread it around. For the most part, adding the compost seems to do a pretty good job bringing a bed into a pretty healthy range.
