Frequently asked

Does Nevada need lime?

Usually not. Nevada soils are highly alkaline; UNR publishes that liming is a common new-gardener mistake. Zone Forge does not manufacture a generic lime rate for an alkaline-soil region. If a current lab report shows unusually acid soil, confirm it with the lab or local Extension before applying lime.

What does Nevada's extension publish about liming?

Nevada soils are highly alkaline; UNR publishes that liming is a common new-gardener mistake. Source: Nevada — alkaline-soil region (lime not needed).

Zone Forge follows Nevada's cited alkaline-soil guidance rather than inventing an application rate. Review the state guidance, soil-test fertilizer recommendations, and full variable-rate prescriptions. See the science →
