management Techniques
At Aiken Pasture Management, we understand that sustainable pastures are more than just cutting grass and applying chemicals. It’s about maintaining a balanced ecosystem that promotes healthy pasture growth. Our management approach and methods are designed to minimize soil disturbance and encourage natural grass regeneration. By using equipment that reduces emissions and selecting the optimal care plan, we ensure that the pasture remains robust and vibrant. These practices not only contribute to the health of your pasture but also enhance its resistance to pests and diseases, which is crucial for long-term sustainability.

Natural Strategies
Fertilization is vital for healthy pasture growth, and at Aiken Pasture Management, we take a natural approach to this essential task. Our focus is on enhancing soil health and fertility without relying on synthetic chemicals. The core to effective fertilization is correct soil pH. We have transitioned to using liquid calcium derived from limestone for a few key reasons. Firstly, three gallons of liquid calcium equal 1-Ton of ground limestone. Secondly, when applying over multiple acres we can quickly apply calcium with out repeated trips to load ton after ton of ground limestone and we find the liquid to be more cost effective. Lastly, liquid calcium is bio-available to the soil as soon as it is applied, where as ground limestone takes around 6 months to break down and be available in the soil
