Hello,

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 ?

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

Thanks,
Bob


The higher pH will discourage new growth and slow down established
moss. You can use agricultural lime (a fast-acting powder) or the slow
release granules. Wait 6 months, check the pH again, reapply if
needed.
