The soils in the Sand Hills are not very productive because they are often sandy, which means they have low water and nutrient holding capacity. This makes it difficult for plants to thrive as they struggle to access sufficient water and nutrients. Additionally, the sandy soils are easily eroded by wind and water, further hampering agricultural productivity.

Will lime fertilizer hurt Black Hills spruce trees?

No, lime fertilizer will not hurt Black Hills spruce trees (Picea glauca var. densata).Specifically, Black Hills spruce trees are white spruce trees that are native to South Dakota. In their native habitat, they favor acidic soils. But they flourish in a range of soils, from the very acidic 4.0 to the alkaline 7.5. They nevertheless handle lime fertililzers, which help get a soil pH into the neutral to slightly acidic range that many plants prefer.
