All spots to hunt Canadageese at Campbell County’sA.J. Jolly Park in Januarywere all taken within 40 min-utes of applications being ac-cepted Dec. 19.

“Every spot for every daywas booked within a half houror 40 minutes,” said LarryHarrod, the county’s parksand recreation manager.

Therewere11days of hunt-ing offered in January, andthree areas people could huntin each day, he said. Each per-son approved to hunt duringone of the 33 hunting reserva-tionshad thechoiceofhuntingby themselves or bringingthree other people.

About 65 people, almost allof them hunters, attended aDec. 18 public meeting at the1,000-acre Campbell Countypark to give input and askquestions about a Januarygoose hunt.

No one attending the meet-ing expressed concerns aboutthe hunt.

Campbell County FiscalCourt approved the first-timehunt at the request of the non-profit Jolly Park CommunityDevelopment Council. Thehunt will be from daylight un-til noon Monday, Wednesdayand Friday from Jan. 6-30 ex-cept for Jan. 15. Volunteerswill be working on fish habi-tats in the park Jan. 14-15.

Water fowl hunter ZachRizzo ofHighlandHeights hasbeen hunting Canada geese onprivateproperties sincechild-hood. He has been unable tofollow the geese when they goinside A.J. Jolly Park.

He will get his chance tofollow the geese Jan. 6.

“Yesterday morning waslike calling into WEBN forconcert tickets,” Rizzo saidabout calling for chance tohunt in the park.

Rizzo said he was told hewas the fourth caller, andsomeone before himchose notto hunt on the first day. Rizzochose hunting near the park’shorse camp grounds.

Rizzo said he will probablyhunt water fowl 15-20 daysthis season.

“If I get onedayhere, itwillbe one of many days, but I be-lieve it would be one of thebest days that I would proba-

bly get,” he said.Don Sorrell, Campbell

County Cooperative Exten-sionService agent for agricul-ture and natural resources,led themeetingwith a presen-tation about the park and thegoose hunt.

Sorrell asked for com-ments andconcerns fromany-one who was not a hunter, andreceived no response.

Themeeting then turned toanswering hunters’ questionsabout how the hunt will beconductedandhowpeople can

register for the hunt.The goals of the hunt are to

make the about 400 Canadageese staying year-round atthe park and other migratorygeese feel unwelcome, hesaid. Hunters can shoot mi-gratory and permanen-resi-dentCanada geese, but not thedozen or so nativewhite geeseat the park.

People walking on parktrails and who have childrenplaying on the soccer fieldshave complained about geesefeces, he said.

“It is not designed to be anover harvest of these ani-mals,” Sorrell said. “We wantthemtorespond tohumansbe-cause when they see peopleright now they may look at usas a free handout.”

ALEXANDRIA — Althoughneighbors of the proposed Bap-tist Life Communities continu-ing care retirement facility fearthey may not be able to tie intonew sewer lines, they supportrezoning andconstruction of the$50 million facility.

Paul Carroll owns propertyadjacent to the proposed retire-ment community site near theintersection of Ky. 9, or the AAHighway, and Ky. 709, alsoknown as the AA Connector.

He stood to speak at the zon-ing hearing Dec. 17 because heunderstands “the sewer capaci-ty has been reserved” for thenew project, which AlexandriaCity Engineer Mark Bruegge-mann said is something Carrollshould confirmwith representa-tives of Sanitation District 1.

Even if the constructionmakesseweraccessdifficult forhis family,Carroll said, “Itneeds

to be done. It’s a good plan.”The Planning and Zoning

Commission approved recom-mendations to make zoning textandmap amendments to allow anew Continuing Care Retire-ment Community, or CCRC,zone to accommodate the pro-posed Baptist Life facility.

Project engineer Jay Bayer,owner of Bayer Becker in FortMitchell, said the proposed de-velopment “is something thatwill change the whole city.”

Baptist Life CommunitiesChief Executive Officer Dr.Robert Long said the first of twophasesofconstruction isexpect-ed to cost up to $50 million, $10millionmore than he announcedpreviously.

“We decided that if we weregoing to go through the difficul-ty of replacing it, we wanted tobuild the finest senior adulthealth care facility to be found,not just in this area, but in the

Each person selectedcan hunt alone or bringup to three other hunt-ers. The hunting sitesare the beach and pri-vate picnic area No. 1;the horse camping areaoff Flatwoods Road; andthe lake area around the17th fairway of the golfcourse. People selectingthe lake hunt will huntfrom their boats near thegolf course, and are notallowed to hunt on thecourse.

Sorrell said the huntareas will be clearlymarked, and the golfcourse and park will beclosed during the hunt.Peoplewill still beable to

walk into the park, sosigns will be posted to

warn them not to enterthe hunt zones, he said.

Sorrel said he also ad-vised people living near

the park about thehunt.

“We tried to get thedirection of shootingaway from roads andaway from residenc-es,” he said.

Mickey Craig, a con-servation officer for theKentucky Departmentof Fish andWildlife, saidtheFiscalCourt commis-sioners need to bethanked for allowing thehunt to happen.

“This is the first goaround for this thing, wewant to have good man-ners,” Craig said.

Craig asked huntersto be respectful and cor-dial if they do acciden-tally encounter a walkeror someone trying towatch. Craig said con-servation officers, whoare law enforcement of-ficers, will be at the parkand deal with anyoneseeking to harass thehunters. There are lawsto protect hunters frombeing harassed, he said.

“Let’s give hunters apositive image, not anegative image on thisthing,” he said. “Becausethis could, I don’t thinkit’s going to turn ugly,but it could.”

COLD SPRING — JimCutter applied for a five-year wait to be the presi-dent of theHomeBuildersAssociation of Kentuckyin 2008 – about the sametime as the U.S. housingmarket crashed.

“Itwasn’tagoodtimetobe dedicating your timeand your energy any-where but in your busi-ness,” said Cutter, 53, ofCold Spring.

He became the firstCampbell County residentto be president of the stateassociation in 2013 afterspending a year as secre-tary, then treasurer, vice-president andboardchair-man.

Learninghowtoput thework in and make time issomething Cutter said helearned from his motherJessie Owen Cutter – whogavebirthtohimwhenshewas 47 and living in New-port. Cutter’s father diedthree years after he was

born, and left his motheras a single parent. Sheworked sevendays aweekas a server at RiverDowns. She died in 1999.

Cutter said seeing hismother struggle everyday,working until shewas80, inspired him to do well

in school and obtain a de-gree in construction man-agement from NorthernKentucky University.

“Having that core ofunderstanding of howhard you have to just getupeverydayandworkanddo it over again now mat-ter how hard it gets,” Cut-ter said. “I mean, that’swhere I learned that, andgosh it sure came inhandyover the past six years be-cause they haven’t beeneasy for anybody, but es-pecially being in the build-ing industry.”

The number of employ-ees at Cutter ConstructionInc., in it’s 20th year, fellbelow 10 people, downfrom 15 workers in 2008.Business has started to re-bound, and there are now10 employees again, hesaid.

Representing the 6,000membersof thestateasso-ciation to state and federalelected officials is also anintegral part of the job.

Lending, appraisingand properly examining

whathomesareworthnowhas interferedwith the re-covery of the housing in-dustry and the country be-cause the values of thingsare not easily known any-more, he said.

“People used to haveequity in their home, andthey thought they knewwhat their home wasworth,” Cutter said.

Holiday letters totroops a tradition forAlexandria school

ALEXANDRIA — Spreadingcheer to troops in themilitary isa holiday tradition at CampbellRidge Elementary School.

The elementary scho-l sentthemost letters to troops of anyKentucky elementary school in2012 through the the Friends ofOur Troops Mail for the TroopsCampaign.

Stacey Arnold, a third gradeteacheratCampbellRidge, saidshestartsaskingother teachersand students to begin writingletters and creating cards inOctober for troops to receive inthe mail in time for the holi-days.

This year’s total of about 300letters was less than the 2012count of 500 letters, she said.Students in each class decide ifthey want to participate.

Arnold saidMariettaKnuehlof Alexandria, a member of theCampbell County Veterans ofForeign Wars Post 3205 LadiesAuxiliary in Alexandria, firsttold her about the holiday mailfor troops campaign in 2011.Seeing a neighbor away fromhomearound theholidaysmadeArnold act.

“My neighbor had justjoined the Air Force and shewas stationed in Japan, andfeeling a little homesick ofcourse,” Arnold said.

The cards and letters have to

be positive and not about war,she said. Arnold said she re-views the cards before they aresent to the VFW.

“They can write letters andthey can draw pictures,” Ar-nold said. “The biggest thing isno glitter.”

Glitter makes too much of amess for the members of theVFW ladies auxiliary, she said.The auxiliary members collectand mail the letters and cardswith care packages they makefor the troops.

Student and teacher cardscan be store bought or made byhand.

“One little girl in fifth grade,I can’t remember who, broughtmeastackof50cardsshedidon

her own at home,” Arnold said.Arnold said she puts mes-

sages including Merry Christ-mas, sending prayers, and tell-ing the soldier she is thinkingofthem in the cards she writes.

Kennedy Johnson, a thirdgrader, said she wrote four let-ters to the troops this year anddrew her own art work.

“I put Christmas trees on thecards,” Johnson said. “I hadvery big Christmas trees.”

Johnson hand wrote a letterin each card beneath her draw-ings.

“I’d say be safe and I hopeyou have a Merry Christmas,and I hope you get home soon tosee your family,” she said.

What often sets the North-ern Kentucky region apart isour willingness to collaborateto solve common problems.When the region was facedwith an astounding rise in thenumber of people addicted toheroin, we came together onceagain.

The result was the NorthernKentucky Heroin Impact re-sponse group’s plan, “NorthernKentucky’s Collective Re-sponse to the Heroin Epidem-ic,” released in mid-November.

The plan was the product ofmore than a year of work bythe heroin impact group. Webrought together experts fromlaw enforcement, local govern-ment, mental health/substanceabuse providers, health careand the business community.

The group pulled togetherdata on the impact of heroinabuse. We saw how drug over-dose deaths in Kentucky qua-drupled between 1999 and 2013.The estimated economic im-pact of heroin abuse in ourstate is $6 billion each year.Northern Kentucky’s rate ofhepatitis C, a common diseaseamong IV drug users, is twicethat of the state and 24 timesthat of the United States.

Then, we researched solu-tions to the problem. We gath-

ered informa-tion fromacross thecountry, ana-lyzed it andbrought forthrecommenda-tions for whatwe think canwork in North-ern Kentucky.Those strate-gies arespelled out inthe plan, which

can be downloaded athttp://www.drugfreenky.org.

The plan outlines five areasof response. Think of these aspieces of one big pie – all arenecessary to successfully ad-dress heroin abuse in NorthernKentucky.

First, we must reduce sup-ply. Under the leadership ofthe N.Ky. Drug Strike Forceand local law enforcement, weneed to decrease the availabil-ity of heroin and other drugson our streets.

To reduce the demand forheroin, we need to focus onprevention, treatment andsupport in recovery. We needprograms that promote socialand emotional health. We needto learn how to use prescrip-tion drugs wisely, so their use

doesn’t lead to heroin abuse.Wemust expand and improvetreatment options for peoplewho are addicted. This in-cludes long-term residentialtreatment for adults and teens,as well as outpatient programs.When a person is undergoingtreatment, we need wrap-around services, like housingand job programs, to help indi-viduals focus on lifelong recov-ery.

Until people with heroinaddiction obtain treatment fortheir condition, we must de-crease the risk of transmittingdiseases and prevent themfrom dying from an overdose.We need to keep used needlesand syringes from our streets,parking lots, and other placesin the community and be ableto help people with heroinaddiction stop sharing theirdevices and get in to treat-ment. Wemust make the medi-cation naloxone more widelyavailable so that overdoses canbe quickly reversed and livessaved.

Fourth, we must advocatefor changes in legislation, edu-cation and programs that willenable Northern Kentucky toeffectively banish heroin fromour neighborhoods and com-munities and care for our

friends and family membersliving with addiction.

Lastly, we must have thecapacity to manage the changewe seek. We need to build onthe work of the heroin impactresponse group with the infra-structure needed to move theplan forward, implement strat-egies, ensure accountabilityand measure progress.

There is no turning back –this problem will not go awayon its own and we cannot af-ford to stay as we are. We havea plan now and wemust con-tinue to move forward to carryit out. For the sake of our chil-dren, our families, our neigh-borhoods, our businesses andour communities, we mustsucceed. And wemust do thiswork together.

Accomplishing these taskswill not be easy, and will re-quire numerous resources.But, our communities will bebetter, stronger and healthierif we can get those in needback on track and on a healthi-er, productive path. All of usbenefit.

My13-year-old daughterLauren and I rushed to the LaGuardia airport after beinginterviewed on “Fox andFriends” – our 15 minutes (ac-tually 5 minutes) of fame. Thebook we wrote together aboutcapitalism for students startedas a summer project and endedup in commerce on Fox News –strong proof that capitalismlives in America. To boot, ithappened at Christmas. NewYork City knows how to deckthe halls.

I admit, I sat next to thegate feeling proud, maybeeven a little smug. However, inmy experience God has a wayof humbling us, sometimeswhen we need it the most. Hu-mility came in the form a burlyman with a Russian accent.Dmitriy approached me andannounced, “Thank you for

doing a book toteach capital-ism. What arepeople doing toAmerica?”

I asked himwhat he meant.Dmitriy lit upat the invita-tion to discusscapitalism,explaining thathis family“fled” the

Soviet Union to escape of gov-ernment control. He describedgovernment mandated wagesand benefits as robbing thehuman spirit. He then beganasking me a series of ques-tions.

Dmitriy – What do you sayto people who think capitalismis all about greed?

Rob – I’m concerned about

greed. I’m not sure capitalismworks well when greed is theprimary motivation.

Dmitriy – There are greedypeople in any economic sys-tem. I lived in it in the SovietUnion. Greed does not go awaywith communism or socialism,trust me.

Dmitriy – It’s far worse thanthat. If you move to socialismor communism, things happenthrough a series of govern-ment favors and pay-offs.Graft becomes the currency ofcommerce, not freedom andmerit.

Dmitriy – There are havesand have nots, far worse thanin America. When it’s all aboutwho you know, hard work andeducation don’t matter much.Eventually, it ends up bringingthe country down.

Dmitriy – I’m a software

engineer and executive in NewYork. What do you think myco-workers think of me?

Rob - If you’re this vocal, Ibet it’s tough.

Dmitriy – The young work-ers think I’m stupid. I lived inthe world they want and Ithank God every day that weescaped it. I earned three de-grees here and lived the Amer-ican dream. Yet I’m the stupidone.

Most of us in America haveso much about which to bethankful and to celebrate, par-ticularly at the holidays. May-be it takes a person from theformer Soviet Union to fullyunderstand all of our country’smany blessings.

It may seem strange to bereading about a dog’s passing,but Greta was no ordinary dog.

She wasmy loyal companion;she was smart and sensitive;she wasmy pride and joy; shewasMs. Greta. She was afriendly little dog who lovedchildren. The kids would see uswalking down the street andyell, “Greta!” Her ears would goback, her tail would wag likecrazy, she would smile, and runtoward them, draggingme be-hind her.

Greta won the 2003 and 2008Wiener DogNationals at RiverDowns. She was10-years-old in2010 whenwon the “Running oftheWieners” on FountainSquare. Greta did a 20-yarddash in 3.48 seconds wearing ahot-dog bun! In 2011, she wonthe wiener dog races on the ice

at the Cy-clones’ hockeygame.

In Decem-ber 2005, manywondered ifGreta wouldwalk again, letalone run. Shehad a collisionwith an Englishbulldog on theplayground atdoggie day-

care and broke her back rightleg just above the knee. Gretarequired surgery and two pinsto repair the broken leg. Shewas doing great until April 2006when she started limping. X-rays revealed that one of thepins in Greta’s leg hadmovedandwas jabbing her right knee.The pin was surgically removed

May 2, 2006, andmy happy,playful Greta was back!

Greta trained for her raceswith the help of neighborhoodchildren. The kids would taketurns racing against Greta onthe sidewalk. Katy, Ally andRylee Keller and ColbyMischhad a lot of fun helping to keepGreta in shape.

WhenGreta was not runningraces, she was training to be atherapy dog and often accompa-niedme to visit patients at areanursing homes to fit hearingaids and custom earmolds.Greta was just long enough toplace her front paws on the sideof a wheel chair and receivepats on the head from thoseinterested in greeting her.

nor seemed to change as soon asher orange therapy dog vestwas slipped over her head. Shewas an amazing ambassador ofgood cheer. She performedsimple tricks and enjoyed thepraise she got from thosewatching. Hermost impressivetrick was using her front paw to“makemusic” on a xylophone.

Greta loved to go for walks.She kept pace with her favoritecanine friend year after year atvarious charity walks. Dashielwas a Signal Dogweighing 60pounds to Greta’s 12; they werethe same color with soft, red-dish fur. As they walked side-by-side wearing their orangevests identifying them as“working dogs,” they were trulyan odd couple. People oftenpointed and chuckled at howfunny the pair looked.

Greta possessed amischie-vous sense of humor. Althoughreliably trained to give kisses oncommand (which the childrenloved!), she turned the tables onme at a “Bark in the Park” Redsgame.When the Kiss Cam ze-roed in on us during a slowmoment of the game, I askedGreta for kisses. She alooflyturned away, makingme giveher a kiss instead. The crowdwent wild with laughter, recog-nizing whowas boss of ourrelationship.

Greta died the day afterThanksgiving. She lived13 won-derful years. Her life left pawprints on the hearts of many.Greta, you will bemissed!

CIVICINVOLVEMENT

Snow didn’t delay Point’s fun eveningThe 43rd annual Joy to the

World benefit of The Point/Arcof Northern Kentucky was un-precedented. Expecting the sec-ond largest crowd ever – in ex-cess of 800 people – the Dec. 6fundraiser at Horseshoe CasinoCincinnati was directly impact-edbyanuninvitedguest.MotherNature pounded the area withsnow and paralyzed local trafficfor hours. Even so, more than400 supporters braved the ele-ments and helped raise morethan $100,000 for people with in-tellectual/ developmental dis-abilities.

Those able to attend enjoyeda holiday evening, which includ-ed welcoming Sinatra songsfromDon Fangman, dinner, andthe auctioning and raffling ofmore than 200 items. ShereePaolello of WLWT-TV newsagain served as master of cere-monies, and was able to keepthings on schedule despite thedelayed arrival of many guestsdue to the snow.

A highlight of the eveningwas the presence of TeddyKremer, theReds’ honorarybat-boy whose story appeared onESPN’s “E:60” show after being

featured in an Enquirer story.After working at Redsfest, Ted-dy was one of the few celebrityauctioneers able to make thateveing. Teddy and Sheree auc-tioned off his limited editionTopps baseball card, given toThe Point by Teddy’s parents,and generated $900.

“While the snow storm pre-vented us from having a fullhouse,” said Judi Gerding, ThePoint’s president. “Thanks to thesupport of our sponsors, guests,and volunteers, The Point wasstill dealt a winning hand.”

I’m going to have to makesure I put makeup on beforegoing out to the grocery orretail store. The past couple of

times I was atthese places,readers stoppedme to chat. Bothtimes I was plan-ning on runningin and out quick-ly so I didn’tbother withmakeup, only abit of lipstick.Well, I had tolaugh afterward

at my vanity. (Why did I thinkno one would recognize me “aunaturel”?)

It’s times like those thatkeepme humble! I wanted tolet each of you know howmuchI’ve appreciated the caring andsharing that happens eachweek through this column.Happy NewYear! I hope 2014brings many blessings to yourhome.

Bob and John’s eggplantcasserole

Reader John Pancoast sentthis, which is now a favorite forentertaining at his and wifePriscilla’s home. “From friendBobMartin of Loveland,” Johnsaid. John added fresh, coarsedried breadcrumbs on top forextra crunchiness. I’m lookingforward to making this myself.John said if you use a 9-inch by13-inch pan, you’ll get morecrunchy top surface area.

1 large eggplant, peeled and cutinto 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 sleeve of Townhouse crackers(about 40 crackers), crumbledcoarsely

1 cup whipping cream8 oz. shredded extra-sharpcheddar

1 tablespoon lemon juice(optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Heat six cups water to full boilin large pot. Add lemon juice ifdesired (some think it keepseggplant from darkening). Addeggplant to boiling water. Stireggplant frequently, it will befloating on top of water. Cookjust until water starts to returnto a boil, about three minutes.Do NOT overdo this step oreggplant will become rubbery!Drain and transfer to sprayedtwo-quart casserole. Sprinklecrackers on top. Pour in creamand add cheese. Stir untilblended. Bake uncovered for 1hour or until it starts to brownon top and gets a little crustyaround edges.

Priscilla Pancoast’s easycorn pudding

Another Pancoast favorite.Let me know if you want thisrecipe. “Everyone who tastes itwants the recipe,” Priscilla toldme.

No-fuss standing ribroast

One of the meat cutters atthe grocery told me he hassuccess with this holiday roastevery time hemakes it. Gosh, apretty good testimonial comingfrom him. Searing the roast onthe outside at a high temper-ature insures a moist inside.Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Season raw roast as desired.Place rib side down in a panand roast 10-15 minutes. Care-ful here, youmay get somesplattering. Reduce oven tem-perature to 250 degrees androast until thermometer readsabout 125 for rare or up to 145for medium. The roast con-tinues to cook at least 5 degreesmore when it’s out of the oven.Let it rest, tented loosely withfoil, for about 20-30 minutesbefore carving.

Caribbean citrus saladdressing

I really like this for a holidaybuffet. Let guests drizzle on topof salad made with mixedgreens. This can bemade sev-eral days ahead. If you havesome fresh parsley, toss a bitin. Taste before adding salt andpepper. Whisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 teaspoon garlic or to taste1 tablespoon honey1 tablespoon Dijonmustard2 tablespoons olive oil1⁄3 cup orange juice concentrate,thawed, or to taste

Brunch egg casserolewith sausage, potatoesand cheese

Nice for that New Year’s daybrunch. Sauté sausage ahead oftime and bring to room temper-ature before continuing.

1pound hot pork sausage or yourfavorite, cooked

3 cups frozen hash browns,thawed completely

12 oz. shredded cheddar12 large eggs, lightly beaten2 cups 2 percent milk or whateveryou have

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Place hash browns in sprayed9-inch by 13-inch pan. Top withsausage and cheese. Whiskeggs milk and seasonings andpour on top. Bake 50-60 min-utes until somewhat puffed andgolden. Toothpick inserted incenter should come out clean.

Question: My lawn,garden and landscape allseem to be going down-hill. Even with all therain, several plants diedthis fall, and I did notharvest much producefrom the garden either.

Answer: Plant roots,then branches, die backduring dry years, andthen further declineoccurs in wet years like2013, from root rot dueto sitting in water-logged clay soils withlow oxygen. Add to thisthe ravages of variousair-borne and soil-borneplant diseases, and at-tack from various in-sects, including thou-sands of emerald ashborers now in NorthernKentucky, and it be-comes clear why somany plants are dying.Because of all these“natural factors” thatbring down plants, itbecomes essential thatwe do “our part” as“plant managers” tokeep the plants fromgoing into stress. There-fore, as we approach thenew year, let’s makesome resolutions.

New year’sresolutions for thegardener

» I will never toptrees, or pay someoneelse to do it, because itshortens the life of thetree, makes it weakerand more apt to breakapart, and causes sun-scald, frost cracks, andattack from insects anddiseases.

» When pruning atree, I will never leave abranch stub, but will cutback to another sidebranch that’s at leastone-third the diameterof what it’s attached to,or cut back to the maintrunk, leaving only the“branch collar” or swell-ing near the trunk (usu-ally sticks out only aquarter- to a half-inchfor small branches, orone inch for largerbranches). If a longerstub is left, it will die,

and willeventuallyrot out thelargerbranch ortrunk be-low it.

» Whenmulchingaroundtrees, Iwill mulchonly three

inches deep, and I willnever let the mulchtouch the trunk of thetree, and certainly I willnever do “volcanomulching,” piling themulch high up on thetree trunk, since thiscauses the tree bark andtrunk to rot slowly, sincethe mulch traps andholds too much moistureduring the wet seasons,and it also encouragesmoles and field mice tochew off the bark of thetree trunk, killing thetree.

» I will always obtainlists of disease and in-sect-resistant plantsfrom the local Coopera-tive Extension ServiceOffice before planting,especially for disease-susceptible plants likeapples and crab apples,where many resistantvarieties exist.

» I will always sub-mit a soil sample beforeapplying lime to my soil,and before planting alawn, flowers, fruits,vegetables, trees or

shrubs, since a soil test(free through your localNorthern KentuckyCounty Extension Of-fice) is the only way toknow if you need lime,sulfur, phosphorus orpotassium. Applying toomuch or too little of anyof these will be harmfulto plants. Each plant hasa unique requirementfor desirable soil pH andnutrient levels. Onceyou know your soil pH,the Extension Officealso has lists of whichplants like acid soils oralkaline soils.
