I have a spot I want to plant with a plot but do not have time to put lime down on. What is a good mix to plant in an area that gets plenty of sun and has acidic soil?

I did one on the other end of the property this summer and I believe he PH was 4.8-4.9. Is there any premixed seed to be put out? How would a throw and grow work? Canuck, thanks for all the help your being to this forum.

That's pretty acidic soil and I'd suggest putting down some lime, which will pay dividends in the following years. Lime even before fertilizer.
I'd still suggest you go with something cheap like wheat and crimson clover. I assume this is a small plot?
Throw and mow works good, if you've brought the soils ph up and added the needed minerals to grow a good crop.

Yep the cereal ryes will tolerate it some. If you are unable to lime fresh wood ash turned in before planting can give a quick ph boost. How big of a "spot" are we talking?

Powdered (out-house) lime will do it
with one decent rain.
That's why it's called "quick lime".
