Do It Yourself Lawns IV


The final application for the season should be performed now or anytime the ground is not frozen. Apply pelletized lime at a rate of 1 bag or 40#'s per 2000 square feet. This will raise the ph level by about a half point. Having your soil analyzed would be preferred before performing this step, however most soils in this area are acidic anyway and need lime to raise the ph. After this step the lawn should be green until we get extremely cold and it goes dormant. Merry Christmas!
