A routine part of your lawn care program should be the application of lime to neutralize the acidity of your yard’s soil. While an increase of acidity is natural after a season of rain, compost and commercial fertilizers that you use to improve the greenness of your lawn can also unbalance the soil. If this is what could be happening to your lawn, then a treatment of lime is just the prescription you need.

Rather than just guessing whether you have a problem, it is best to buy and use a testing kit that you can find at many nurseries or garden departments of stores. Follow the simple directions and soon you will know if your soil is too high in acidity or alkalinity. The directions will give you a recommendation on just how high is too high. For an acidity problem a lime treatment is just what you need.

Before you can plan to treat your soil for lime, you need a more complete evaluation. This is done by sending a sample to a lab for a more in-depth testing. The yellow pages or an internet search will tell you where to find one. The cost is reasonable and you will get a detailed report that will give you all you ever wanted to know and more about the chemistry of the soil of your yard. But the important thing is you will also get a recommendation with details of how much lime to apply and that is what the real value of the testing is to you.

There are a number to types of lime you can choose from that your master gardener can recommend. Some of the mixes also are high in magnesium. The value of the lab test of your soil is that if you find out that you also need to apply magnesium, you can do that at the same time. Application of lime to the soil is a project so go into it knowing that. You will need a rototiller to really work it in so it might benefit you to contract the work done if you don’t have the machinery or are uncomfortable with working it.

You can add lime to your soil at any time when vegetation is growing so you would avoid the winter months. But follow this process and don’t apply the lime unless it is called for or you can cause more problems then if you had not put it down at all.
