Answer 2

Lime in the spring and fall for a nice lush lawn. Lime needs to have 7x more calcium to be beneficial for your lawn.

Answer 3

Make soil analysis, this is the safest way to know. On the other hand, if your see the lawn's color or growth changed, then this is the sign that something is happening. It could be change of pH of the soil (which indeed does not change that rapidly), disease, nutrient deficiency, anything, or combination of these. If the lawn is green, looks healthy, no need of intervention.

Answer 4

lime is used to raise the soil pH. Rainwater is acidic and so are most fertilisers. That would be the main things that would be needin the use of lime

Answer 5

Lime helps to "sweeten" the soil. Check with the USDA Cooperative extension service in your county for directions on soil sampling. they can usually provide you the box and location to send the sample for testing for a nominal charge.

Answer 6

yep. take a few samples from different areas of your yard. about a 2-3" depth. put it in a baggie and mark what part of yard its from. take these or call your courthouse and ask for extension service. some want you to bring it to them others want you to mail the samples. you will get a report telling you what your soil needs. cost is minimum if anything. m
