PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you lime your lawn?
Lime your lawn once a year, between mid-October and mid-February, so in autumn or winter.
Lime restores the soil’s acidity level so grass grows better and moss has less chance. DCM recommends mid-October to mid-February, because rain and snow then wash the lime into the soil well. Very acidic soil gets two applications: early spring and autumn.
- Optionally measure the acidity first with a soil test
- Choose a dry day between mid-October and mid-February
- Spread the lawn lime evenly as the packaging says
- Let rain wash the lime into the soil
