Re: When Should I plant.

Why let it sit a few months after liming? confused.gif

You let it sit a few months to allow the lime to actually change the soil pH.

The lime you apply actually has to weather and release its chemicals into the soil before the soil pH truly raises. You may take a pH test before then and get a higher reading because the lime reacts with the chemicals in the pH kit, but the soil pH is not actually high enough to allow the plant to get the nutrients it needs.

Whether that process takes a few MONTHS or not might be questioned, but once you are out of the spring planting window, the best recomendations from people like the whitetail institute would be to tell you to wait untill fall.
