Low Soil pH Levels

Lime helps restore the physical condition of soil, providing you with the following benefits:

• Increases fertilizer effectiveness:  When soil pH is controlled with lime, nutrients are readily available, allowing fertilizers to work better.
• Reduces thatch:  Lime slows the growth of the thatch layer, which becomes a barrier to air, water, and fertilizer.  Lime encourages microbial action that breaks down thatch.
• Reduces fungus problems:  Proper pH levels promote favorable growing conditions, encouraging healthy plants that are less susceptible to damage caused by disease.
