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

Perfectly safe irrespective of pH results - no. With a little care with
dose and allowing time for the stuff to act - probably quite safe. It would
be possible to overdose to the point where the soil went quite alkaline and
then few plants would grow but you would have to be profligate. You can get
a dye indicator pH testing kit for a few dollars that is quite accurate
enough for the purpose and it will do many tests. Such a thing is handy to
have in the garden.
