If everyone is using lime, you must have an acidic soil, and the lime will adjust the ph upward. I think you were on the right track with the manure, it's just bad luck about the herbicide. Even after you get the ph correct, most soils will be deficient in organic matter, which is why manure is such a popular fertilizer.
