Thank you for sharing your success. I love okra, but I didn't know orka take that much fertlizer and also the lime. I am doing to try this next year.

Annie-lee, do not use lime unless you need it. Fertilize if you want to and think it is needed but in areas where soil is acid some people routinely use lime to balance the pH, but if your soil leans toward alkaline like mine does, adding lime could compound a problem. If you do not know about your soil, I would recommend a good soil analysis or test, to eliminate a lot of guess work.

Kharma, it sounds like you have a good thing going on there, and it is about like I remember my parents doing long ago. Are you selling okra?

Thanks gonefishin. Come to think of it, my okra actually are doing quite fine the way I have been doing. Just that this is the first time I heard of lime being used for okra.

Thanks everyone. I took your advice. Just came in from side dressing my okra with Garden Tone (4-6-6) and bone meal. Stand back when those plants explode into growth.

That's a lot of okra
