Lime |
Lime is an important soil amendment for managing pH.
The addition of lime depends on the existing pH of the
soil. The general recommendation for
applying lime is 25 lbs/1000 sq ft/yr not to exceed 50
lbs/1000 sq ft/application. The best time for an
application is spring and fall with rain. |
