The core issue here is using lime to eliminate moss in your lawn. Lime will
increase the alkalinity of your soil, but that's not what encourages the
growth of the moss. Rather, it's that moss tends to grow in shady, moist,
compacted areas. To rid the area of the moss, you'll have to change the
moss-favorable conditions. In my humble opinion, moss IS better than bare
ground, which is likely what you'd have if not for the moss. Here's a nice
publication from the Extension in Wisconsin about this very subject:

In any event, before changing the pH of your soil -- for whatever purpose --
it's best to have your soil tested first to see what the pH actually is.

I bought this Lime (dolometic lime for lawn and gardens). I brought it home
to apply in an area infested with moss and heavy rain overflows. I found
out that the damn lime powder does not fall through the rotary spreader or
drop spreader (SCOTTS). How do you folks apply lime powder to the lawn?
