Lime Your Lawn, Key#1
Balanced pH is the first key to unlock everything else you do for your lawn. It is often thrown in as an after thought, if not ignored completely. Soil ph contributes to turf grass health by controlling the availability of nutrients, thatch breakdown, and the success of weed controls.
Changes in soil pH, whether they are caused naturally or by human activities, occur very slowly. Rainfall controls the pH of most soils because calcium and magnesium is leached out as the water percolates through the soil. Root growth and decay of organic matter by microorganisms also increases soil acidity as well as cheap fertilizers with high ammonium content.
Take a soil sample every fall and be sure to follow the lime recommendation including calcium and magnesium. Lime can be put down anytime but it often makes sense to spread it in early winter so it can fully activate over the winter and be ready for spring.
Show and Tell: Balance Soil pH. (6:47)
The second key is proper soil aeration.
