Before You Spread Lime, Read This

In Central Texas, soil can vary but often leans towards being alkaline with a pH above 7.0. However, some areas might have slightly acidic soils. Gardeners who encounter acidic soil often use pulverized dolomitic limestone to raise the pH level. This product typically comes in heavy, white 40-pound bags. Although adding lime might seem beneficial, especially with the effects of acid rain in some areas, it’s important to exercise caution. If you’re worried about weeds, dolomitic lime could potentially exacerbate the issue. Always conduct a soil test before applying lime to ensure it’s necessary and beneficial for your lawn.
