Default A post NOT about my mower but about pine trees and new grass.

I was told by my neighbor that in both cases with grass and moss, I should
just lime the heck out of my property.
He has told me that he has limed the heck out of his property ( we have lots
of pine trees ) and it worked for him.
I'm assuming he is right, and the new grass at $40.00 a bag times 5 is dying
even with allot of water.

put it this way I read the bag and it ain't working...

Eggs?

Lime probably wouldn't hurt, although I'm not sure how long you'd
have to wait (if at all) after seeding before applying it. When did
you plant?

June, yea I planted in June, but I have been watering

He has told me that he has limed the heck out of his property ( we

Lime will definitely help counter the acidity of the pine needles.

Didn't anyone tell you that seeding in the summer wasn't a good idea?
=P


yea, including you, my father, and the bag of grass, but the front lawn
looked like a dust bowl.

It works. Read it again. =P


I have A.D.D. and I'm dyslexic, so I'm not really doing that bad really.
(it takes me two days to respond to these post sometimes) lol

Prolly better to ask Steveo or trader. They know way more about
turfgrass maintenance than I do. =)


I hope Oevets and Redart will contribute to this thread. :-p

Oh god no.
you want me to trust real people and real analysis, instead of trusting
people in a newsgroup, maybe a million miles away, that I don't even really
know?
I just know I have lots of pine trees, the lime treatment seems to be
working for neighbor, so?

Can a storm be officially designated as a tornado without touching down at
a trailer park?

It sounds like you will need lime. (why test it?)

Carry on.

Powdered lime leaches thru average soil about 1" per year, pelletized
lime even slower than that. Your neighbor may have been treating his
longer so it has had time to work.
