Default A Bit Of Clarification Requested Re Using Lime For Lawn Grass Problem, Please. And, Re Lime Usage

Thanks for all the replies re using lime to help my moss problem on my
grass.

One thing wasn't too clear though.

Will applying the lime, work mainly to help prevent new moss from
forming due to the now changed ph,

Or, will it (also) help kill what's there now ?


It'll do both.

BTW: does everyone feel that the garden store lime granules are
perfectly safe to use irrespective of ph results ? Any caveats ?


Follow the instructions printed on the bag. I've always found with
any garden chemicals/amendments several smaller applications work
better than one big dump.... anytime you apply anything to your garden
pretend you're salting soup for guests.
