Why should I apply lawn lime?

Rain and fertilization remove calcium from the soil. This changes the pH value of the soil, making it acidic. To balance this out, we recommend liming the soil regularly. To be able to work optimally here, you should use aSoil analysisof your soil. You will then know the exact pH value. You can order such an analysis from a professional laboratory via our website. For a simplepH value testthere are kits for use at home.

The pH value of your soil should be between 6.5 and 7, the nutrient availability is best in this range. If the value is below this, the soil is acidic.

Acidic soil is problematic because it is an ideal breeding ground for moss and lawn diseases. Weeds such as sorrel, wood sorrel and cornflowers also like to grow in acidic soil and are an indicator that liming should be carried out.
