The Lime application
The reaction of soils is measured by the quantity of
hydrogen ions in the soil which is expressed by numbers
between 1 and14, with 7 being neutral. The greater the
acidity of the soil, the greater need for lime. Lime
performs several important functions:
• Corrects the soil acidity
• Furnishes important plant nutrients like calcium
and magnesium.
• Reduces the solubility and toxicity of certain
elements in the soil such as aluminum, manganese, and
iron. This toxicity could reduce plant growth under
acidic conditions.
• It promotes the availability of major plant
nutrients. Calcium acts as a regulator and aids in
bringing about the desirable range of many plant
nutrients. Some elements which lime aids in
regulating are zinc, copper, and especially
phosphorus.
- It increases bacterial activity and hence
induces favorable soil structure and
relationships. Soil structure is also improved
by the addition of decayed organic matter or
compost. The soil becomes more porous,
increasing air circulation and the ability of
the soil to absorb and hold moisture.

| More tips to improve your lawn |
| What we're working on now.... |
The cold season is here and it is time to put
the lawn to sleep for the season. Before you do
so there are a few things to keep in mind. One of
the most important things would be leaf removal,
primarily due to the fact that leaves left on the
lawn all winter can make a perfect habitat for
fungal diseases in the spring. This time of year is
also a great time to address a pH problem if you
have one. Lime is one of the best ways to
provide calcium to the lawn which raises your pH.
The pH level regulates nutrient uptake and is most
suitable for your lawn at 6.5 to 7.0. This step is
beneficial in combination with your late fall
application because the nutrients will be readily
available for plant intake.
Another important issue to keep in mind when
wintering the lawn involves de-icing salts on the
driveway and sidewalks. Too much salt in the soil
will be harmful to turf and landscape plants. This
will not be evident until the spring of the following
year.
