What Is Liming?
Liming is the agricultural practice that involves applying a specific agent, such as limestone, to the soil with the goal of reducing its acidity.
This process effectively raises the pH level of the soil, creating a more balanced environment. By doing so, liming makes the soil more conducive to the healthy growth of turfgrass.
How Does Lime Help My Lawn?
When soil acidity is reduced to a suitable level (a desired pH range for our grass types is a pH of 6.0- 7.0), essential nutrients become more accessible to the grass roots, promoting robust and vibrant turfgrass growth.
This practice is particularly important in regions where the natural soil conditions tend toward higher acidity levels, as it helps maintain the health and vitality of lawns and gardens.
