50# LAWN & GARDEN LIME

50 lb. Lawn & Garden Lime is a soil amendment used primarily to improve soil health and correct acidity. Here’s a clear overview of what it is and how to use it:

✅ What It Does

• Raises soil pH: Reduces soil acidity, making nutrients more available to plants

• Improves nutrient uptake: Helps grass and plants absorb fertilizer more effectively

• Enhances soil structure: Can improve root development and overall plant health

🌱 When to Use It

• Your soil test shows a low pH (acidic soil)

• Grass is thin, patchy, or yellowing despite fertilizing

• Best applied in spring or fall, but can be used anytime the ground isn’t frozen

📏 Application Guidelines

• Typical rate: 20–50 lbs. per 1,000 sq ft (depends on soil pH and type)

• For precise results, always use a soil test before applying

• Spread evenly using a broadcast or drop spreader

🚿 After Application

• Water your lawn lightly to help the lime soak into the soil

• Results are gradual—can take several weeks to months to fully adjust pH

⚠️ Tips

• Don’t overapply—too much lime can make soil too alkaline

• Separate applications from fertilizers by at least a few weeks for best results

• Wear gloves and a dust mask when handling, as lime can be dusty
