TIA.

PH 6.0 (plan to add lime)
Nitrogen - Very Low

Lime now and 15-0-15 fertilizer next spring.

Why wait till Spring to fertilize? Fall is an excellent time to apply
ferilizer and will give you a nice green lawn to look at even in
winter. You need a fertilizer with Nitrogen, and Potash and little
or no Phospate. On the bag, fertilizer is listed as percentages of
NPK, ie X-X-X. Over the season, you want to apply to each 1000 sq
ft:

3 - 4lbs N nitrogen
0 P phosphate
3 - 3.5 K potash

So, if you find a 40 lb bag marked 15-0-15, it contains 6 lbs of N and
6lbs of K, which is enough for 2000 sq ft for the season. I would
apply it divided in 3 applications, one in early Sept, one in late
Oct, one in late Mar/early April. The limestone can be put down
anytime.

To find the right fertilizer, you may need to go to a pro turn product
supplier, like Lesco, as the home centers usually have more balanced
products.
