Have you noticed plants emerging in your lawn, such as moss, heather or sorrel? This is a sign that your soil has a high acidity, which means it lacks nutrients and can delay the growth of your lawn.
Lime can counter over-acidity in the soil and strengthen the lawn to make it more resistant to disease.
WHY SHOULD I APPLY LIME TO MY LAWN?
Your lawn’s pH level is a good indicator of soil acidity, and lets you know if you need to put lime on your grass. A pH under 6 means lime should be added to reduce soil acidity. It will also add magnesium, which is essential for greener grass.
Lime adjusts the pH level, increasing nutrient production for the lawn, adjusting nitrogen levels and removing pollutants. In this way it strengthens your lawn, making it more resistant to drought and potential illnesses. Lime also increases the efficiency of fertilizers applied for a healthy, denser and greener lawn.
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY LIME?
Lime takes a certain amount of time to dissolve in the ground, so it must be spread at specific times. Generally, late fall is best, because the ground can absorb the lime and adapt the acidity rate before spring. However, it is also possible to apply lime in early spring. But keep in mind that it will take 2 to 3 months to take effect.
HOW DO I APPLY LIME?
Applying lime must be done with great care. If too much is put down, it can burn your plant roots. To make sure the lime will be well dissolved, ask for help from our certified technicians. They use quality products and know the best techniques to make your grass healthy again.
To maintain a good soil acidity rate and prevent moss growth, spread lime on your lawn at least once a year.
