Myth#4: Always Apply Granular Lime on Your Lawn in the Fall
Lime helps balance the ph level in soil. Unless you find out what your soil's ph level is by a professional soil lab, don't bother. Granular lime is effective when the soil ph is less than 6.0%. It's more effective when you mix it in with the top 5 inches of soil. In an established lawn, you first have to aerate with plugs every 1 to 1.5 inches apart. You may need to put lime in your vegetable garden or flower bed depending on your soil test.
