Is there something less heavy and less bulky than lime that can be used to
neutralize an acidic lawn?

Some sort of chemical I can put in a hose-end spray bottle would be ideal.


Get a broadcast spreader--they are fast! Lime adds calcium (and
sometimes magnesium) to the soil which is beneficial. Most grasses
like slightly acidic conditions. Apply 500 lbs of lime per half acre,
wait 6 months, test pH and repeat if needed. Generally you can't
change pH much in a single application.
