Most homeowners think of their yard in terms of the grass only, but healthy soil is the basis for the green love we call our lawn. With this in mind, you should consider whether your lawn could benefit from an application of lime.
What’s lime, two important elements that help maintain the balance in the soil are calcium and magnesium (LIME). Acidic soil is not necessarily useless, but is a sign that the supply of calcium and magnesium is low and needs replenishing. High acidity or low pH levels may also cause other nutrients to be un-usable to grass plants. The greater the acidity of the soil, the greater the need for lime. Lime is a compound of calcium or calcium and magnesium capable of counteracting the harmful effects of an acid soil on lawn grasses.
Lime is not a fertilizer, but more of a soil amendment or conditioner.
Lime Helps With:
- Corrects soil acidity
- Furnishes important plant nutrients-calcium and magnesium
- Promotes availability and use of major plant nutrients and micro nutrients. Its like greasing a wheel…it just makes things run through more smoothly
- It increases bacterial activity in the soil which promotes more air exchange, thus aerating the root system.
