Frequently asked

Does Utah need lime?

Usually not. USU Extension: 'Lime is not needed in Utah soils because nearly all have an alkaline reaction.' 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.

Zone Forge follows Utah'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 →
