Manure will increase the acidityand lime at your pH level is highly reccomended. Apply 3 tons as soon as you can, wait at least two years and test again before applying an additional 2 to 3 tons.
Financially you need to examine your lease and be sure that there is a lime clause in it. Most standard leases have one that will protect your financial intrest incase the landlord choses to change tenants. The agreement would spell out the term length of value for the lime, usually 4 years, and how that expense is to be divided. In some leases the landlord is totally responsible for the lime and it"s application value is used to reduce the rent, i.e. the lime value is $48 per acre or $12 per year and the rent is reduced by $12 a year. OTOH if you are to pay for the lime and your tenancy would last for 2 years the landlord would owe you $24 per acre for the remaining lime value.
That same formula applies to the application of commercial fertilizer.
