Commercial fertilizers <br />generally will not pay unless it is drained...avoid over irrigation. <br />Frequent, light irrigations will help keep the salt accumulations down." <br />"Salt ar,d water tolerant species of grass should be used if this .land <br />is seeded to pasture."2 <br />Soil 28-B is Nederland very cobbly sandy loam. This is a moderately <br />deep, well drained, poorly developed soil. The surface sail is moderately <br />light textured. This soil is underlain by rock and cobble at 20" to 40" <br />and has enou,h cobble and rock throughout to prevent cultivation. Water <br />intake rate is medium. Water holding capacity is medium. It belongs <br />to soil capability unit VII sl which is described as foll~~ws:2 <br />"...shallow to deep, well drained soils with stony, ~~obbly or very <br />gravelly loam sand, sandy loam or clay loam surface layers. The subsoils <br />are sandy clay loam or clay. Slopes are 5 to 55 percent. Precipitation is <br />12 to 24 inches, and the frost free season is 80 to 155 d,sys.
