Why SHOULD you apply LIME to your Lawn?

- Опубліковано 25 бер 2020
- I don't do very many super detailed/informative videos, but for applying lime, the why's/when's/how's, I see too many varying opinions. So, I try to simplify this subject, using Soil Doctor LawnLime. Hopefully I clear up the process of applying lime... if not, let me know.
As I said at the start of this video, The Grass Factor just released a very detailed video on this very subject, and I highly recommend checking it out, • Understanding LIME for... .
I created new stickers and ordered more of the old design, so if you want a sticker, email me @ cmorga02@gmail.com

Another way to tell if you have an acidic lawn is if you have dandelions. This is also an indicator, that your soil is calcium deficient. If you try to remove the dandelions, they will come back with a vengeance. The soil table is dense clay or compact, so aerating and a good quality lime, with additional calcium products, will definitely help.
That’s a fantastic tip!! Thanks for the heads up!
AWESOME tip.
Yup! Dandelions here
Thanks for the info. Dandelions come back because they go so deep that you cannot get the whole root system Most plants will not come back if you get most of the root but not the dandelions. That just pisses them off ha
thanx for the tip. sad that good info has to come from the comments and not the vid.
Great video! Keep up the good work. Soil testing is so important!
Thanks man. Great video. Picked up this exact bag at HD and now I know the correct setting for that scotts spreader
I’m glad that I was able to help in some way!
Thanks for doing this video...it is really helpful.
ya got a good channel Mr. Chuck. Thanks for being thorough.
Thanks bud!
Thanks Chuck for this video. I needed this information. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I’ll be simple and to the point. Excellent tutorial
So important to invest in a soil test, and then to learn how to act on the results. Great way to learn how to manage your lawn. Because pH takes so much product to see the balance change, just plan on regular applications throughout the season. Nicely done.
A soil test is maybe the best value thing you can do for your lawn.
Yeah man good work on the vid! Great quality and good content from a humble dude. Appreciate it and subscribed👍🏻
Fantastic! Thank you! I appreciate it.
I’m behind you in traffic so I’m watching your videos. Keep up the good work
Hahaha!! That's awesome!
Good job Chuck, nice info.
Thank you!
Chuck! Awesome video I love you man!
Thank you!!! Much appreciated!
haha I love the proper PPE bit after emptying the bag and handling the product without any!
Lol!!! A for effort?
Awesome video, very informative! 😎
Thank you very much! Check out that video from the Grass Factor.
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for watching!
Nice job with the explanation man.
Thank you. I tried... I’ll now go back to my regular programming.
Thanks. I learnt a bit.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Very well done
Thank you very much Devin.
you gained a new subscriber by the way that you explained things !! great job !! Thanks
I’m honored!!! Thank you so much!
@@DaddingAllDay 10k sqft of mostly weeds and I like to learn as much as I can in order to fix it before spring time arrive, I live in the Waldorf are in Maryland so I think that I have plenty time to learn from you guys the PRO !! I did hire TruGreen but if I don't know what to do how I can supervise or criticize their job so I decided to become a You tube certified, I do like to take care of my yard but I might spend most of the year away from the house so TruGreen was my way out for now.
Yep. Lol.
@@DaddingAllDay I have 6 bags of gypsum under a tarp in the driveway. Guess what I am doing. Hehe.
@@HectorPerez-tb8hn Hector find a local company with a storefront for landscapers. Look up 'Commercial Landscape Supply Company Near Me' On Google to find one. They will guide you and even find you a contractor to help out way better than trugreen. Good Luck! Cheers!
Great info thanks!
Thank you for watching.
@@DaddingAllDay yea SUBSCRIBEd!
Very informative. I'm impressed. Knew very little about lime before. The only lime I knew about was the one in a cold beer that shares a name with a virus.
Hahaha! I don’t want to be spreading that around my lawn.
I like lime on a cold margartitta(ask jummy buffet ha)
I'm going to try this. My soil is at zero PH and 8 Alkaline is at 8.
Been having rough looking grass, years of leaves coming down from a well established behemoth of a tree. Its got to be 250+ years old and its majestic and a vast canopy that keeps my house cool and shaded year round. I finally turned my soil into an unbalanced ph atmosphere, even though I rake and bagged 50+ large black bags every year. Started getting die off, looked like mole crickets or chinch bugs. Investigating and found no evidence of any destructive insect. Narrowed it down to either a fungus or soil inbalance.
Lack of irrigation, narrowed down my casuses. So it lead me to getting a 10 dollar 40 lb bag of lime from local hardware store. Put on some gloves for PPE and hand tossed, the contents from a 5 gallonn bucket. You would be impressed by my skill at evenly spreading any dry granular throughout my property, 20 years exp haven't stripped a lawn in 18 of em. I've prolly got 3k sq feet of grass, went heavy and put it down right before a big rain, with a tropical storm coming later in the week. Hoping for a quick recover, normally a lush lawn. Lately looking like ass that I am ashamed of letting it get to this state.
Looking forward to the results, already have applied morganite for a cheap in spring food and then applying a slow release nitrogen with a coated neonicotinoid to give me lasting protection this summer from destructive pests, and from grubs in winter months. Im in FL so dealing with St Augustine grass.
Those huge trees of Florida are amazing! I wish I had a really nice, big tree, with a beautiful canopy. However, they are the first to go when building a subdivision. Good luck, I hope everything turns around for you.
My lawn is a mess. Thanks for sharing
My lawn isn’t perfect at all. Everyone battles weeds and such.
It also kills fleas.by dehydrating them
Thanks
I have moss and dandelions. I hope this helps. I also just ordered soil test kit.
It should help with the moss. Though there are other factors that cause moss. Good luck!
I did a soil test and found it was very acidic, 5.1 pH! The soil test recommend I apply 150lb lime per 1000 sq ft. Which is a ton. Had to split it up in 50lb per sq ft over a few treatments.
That's the best way to do it. Spread it out to save your sanity.
Check with your local county agricultural department who should provide you with small containers and instructions on how to collect soil samples. They will also test your soil for you at a significantly lower fee
You are absolutely right. I just like the convenience and the easy to read print out you get from MySoil or similar companies.
If you are Ga state, it’s always acidic _so no need to test it. But you need to test it after first application line by at least 6 ms.
I'm in Tennessee, it's not too bad actually. Small fluctuations.
If your soil test shows N or nitrogen levels, don’t trust those because nitrogen is mobile within the soil, meaning it moves quickly within your soil, so by the time your test results are returned the nitrogen levels are most likely different.
You are absolutely right! This is something I wish I knew when I filmed this video. I appreciate you sharing.
Want to fertalize with organic worm castings. Is lime still required, read castings help reduce or increase soil to neutral.
I apologize, but I've not done any research using worm castings, so I can't give an opinion on the matter.
I think the fertilizer company's put a couple of secret pieces in the bag to get stuck on purpose in the spreader lol. I can't remember the last it did not happen to me.
It happens most of the time, fortunately I’m usually on my driveway when it happens.
FYI at 3:32 you have you "greater than" > and "less than" < symbols mixed up. A tip is the L in "less than" < kind of looks like the letter L. Acid 7pH neutral =7pH.
Well crap. That's what happens when you don't pay attention to what you're typing. Good thing I said it correctly. Thank you for the heads up.
@@DaddingAllDay If it's any consolation I see it all the time in UA-cam videos. It seems to be tradition.
Hello, sir. Excuse me, I wonder if this lime needs watering after sprinkling.
@@coke3205 yes or wiat for a rain storm(not a hard rain)
Does it matter if i apply the lime on a damp lawn, or should i wait till its a bit more dry.
I’d wait until it dries out a bit. Like needs to be in the soil and it could stick to the grass
Can I mix lime with lawn weed killer? I sprayed the weed killer first and put down the lime shortly after. Was that ok or do it another way?
It's okay. The lime is more of a soil amendment where the weed killer is foliar.
My lawn is at 4.8ph. I added 40lbs of pelletized lime to my 4,000sqft yard. Should I add more? Thank you
I would wait and see. I don't think so.
When is the best time to do the soil test? Thanks
A few weeks after a fertilizer application. However, spring time before your first application is best.
Hey thanks. Your soil test looks identical to mine. I am in north gerogia and have red clay too. My PH is 6.01 and very low in P & K.Just cuurious, it reads on bag to get to 6.5. How long? how many apps a year??
I does take a few applications to get there. Unfortunately, I moved so I wasn’t able to do a test there to see how much my pH improved.
👍👍
Where in east TN? Johnson City here!
Down in Maryville.
Can you use a hand spreader?
Ummm... If for a small area then I don’t see why not, but you have to apply such a large amount that I don’t think it’s practical.
Is Lime Toxic For Dogs? Is Lime Good For Killing Fleas & Ticks? I Used Hydrated Cal ( Lime ) On The Yard.
Calcitic can dolomitic lime is safe for dogs. Hydrated lime is a good way to treat for fleas, but according to the Google, it's not recommended for pets
After laying the lime down do you wet the grass?????
Yes. It needs to be watered in.
I am a Soil Doctor, and I do not approve of this message... Just kidding, thanks for the video. Was almost thinking that spring was not happening this year.
It’s so awesome outside! It’s here! For now.
How much rain does the lime need?
Your normal watering cycle will be plenty
Is your graph supposed to indicate greater than 7 is alkaline?
Yeah. I was called out here in the chat. I got it backwards.
Noice!
Should this be watered in immediately?
If rain is in the forecast that day, you can wait. However, if not then yes
@@DaddingAllDay thanks for the video and response sir. Excited to put this down
What’s up with the b&w reversed image in the beginning?
I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Boston college hat, patriots golf bag … I’m guessing your from my home state of Massachusetts ?…. Go Sox !
Go Sox! Big game today!
@@DaddingAllDay Big Win !….. let’s do it again today !
Does it get rid of a dog poop pile?
If you wet your hands first, then coat your hands in the lime, you should be able to pick up the poop easily.
Where’s the link to the soil test?
My apologies. www.mysoiltesting.com/
Me wanting to know my ph is the main reason I’m going to be doing a soil test
I was more concern with the macro and micros, but I’m glad I now know my pH.
Is this the same as dolomite lime?
No. Dolomite is a different makeup
Do you think your PH matters at all when you have a great looking lawn? PITTL
No.
Only because it will look better if it’s getting all the benefits of the fertilizer... but in all honesty mine is fine without the lime.
@@DaddingAllDay I like limes in my vodka press. 😉
My lawn is all dandelions!
They have cool yellow flowers 😉 Find a bottle of Spectricide Weed Stop for Lawns and spray it one morning or evening. You’ll be surprised.
Does it help with animal urine order is it safe for them
When you say "animal urine" do you mean burned spots in the lawn?
@@DaddingAllDay I have a fenced in small back yard and I clean up my cat and dog poop but I live in florida and it's a sand yard and the smell of pee is bad and the heat makes it worse but that is their only yard.
Without soil testing you will waste money. Kind of like not testing and understanding pool chemistry.
I just put down 2500 lbs of lime.
25000 square feet that was 5.5.
That is a lot of lime!!!
@@DaddingAllDay oh man, it was. Luckily I had a pull behind spreader.
@@dpeagles I am about to do 22,000 sq ft and I need 28 bags, 1100 lbs(50 per 1,000). I will be using a push spreader and have hills. Gonna be a hell of a workout lol
I watched your video. I did not learn why should I put lime on my yard. Could you keep this simple. Does lime kill weed. Would lime make my grass greener or fuller. You did not say why I should use lime on my yard. Or why I should not. This video was like going to Menards and asking a worker for a hammer.
I love the Menards call out. The purpose of lime is to change your soil pH level. It does not effect weeds or the color of your grass. The reason it's important is because if your soil pH is too high or too low, your grass will not utilize the nutrients you give it with fertilizer. So while it doesn't effect your grass directly, it does help the soil your grass uses for water and nutrients. I hope that helped.
@@DaddingAllDay thank you . My dad always put lime on my lawn. But he passed away and I told my husband to put lime on the yard. Because my dad always did . My husband told me to explain why we would need lime on our yard. So now I will tell him Dadding all day said so! Lol 😂 thanks again
@@tlcbear411 I would suggest doing a soil test just to see if you need it. There is a chance that you don't need lime. Sorry to hear about your dad.
@@DaddingAllDay the city of Minneapolis test my yard. Three times a year because the soil was damaged by the city. I will get a report soon.
He’s cute
You noticed everything but his left finger!!

Wood ash is better
I’ve not heard of using wood ash. I’ll be sure to look that up
Dr. Pepper is better than Pepsi
I agree... most of the time.
What about doctor pepper LIME
Dr pepper tates like cough medcine lmao cherry coke >> dr pepper
No way that wine is better than Pepsi (snort)
You acidic vs alkaline vs neutral definitions are funny.
Alkaline =6 😂
Yeah, I got them all backwards and messed up.
