Yes, we take soil samples at least twice a year.
The "K" has been way short and we have been putting out 3000lbs of 0-0-60 on a 7.5 acre hayfield (according to the advice from our ag agent) in the spring and sometimes again in the fall. We've been doing this for several years and the "K" is getting close to where it should be.
The area we did in 2009 got extra attention and it looked really good the first growing season. Healthy, thick and outgrew the rest of the field. But like I said, it seems to have winter killed.
