Lawn Lime Who Should Apply Lime on Their Lawn

PRODUCTS → www.howtowithd...
Doc talks about applying lawn lime and who should apply it. It's critical that you get a soil test before you apply any lime. You only apply lawn lime if your PH is low. It's NOT something everyone does every fall.

Okay, the title of this video is totally WRONG: this video does NOT specify "who should apply lime on their lawn." It just doesn't. It talks about soil sampling and does a good job shilling for Green Shocker, but doesn't explain jack about lime application, or any special tips about it. So if you came here to learn about liming your lawn...you struck out. Sorry.

Im so glad I did my soil test after years of watching your videos! I did my test and my ph, N-P-K was low! Thanks for this video Im just in time for my winter treatments for ph.

[@keithsecrist]

Nice touch with the Red at the end!

[@joycemorrow5840]

Thanks doc for your advice. I will start that routine soil testing. Love your approach in sharing your knowledge.

[@paulsharkey6673]

I just tested. My PH is 4.2. It is frighteningly low. I just put down 60 pounds of fast acting lime on 2800 square feet.

[@angelaprater2679]

Thanks Doc I just did my yard aerated then put lime down the new top soil and sand mix 2 shovels of top soil 1 sand and mix up big wagon load and spread.

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

Thanks Doc. Was needing to do a soil test and was just wondering exactly how to do it

[@J_Westbrook]

I live close enough to just drive my samples to the Clemson extension office. I love how I can drop in a sample on Friday afternoon and have my results in my email on Tuesday.
I can only imagine how to drop them off on a Monday morning. I probably still would have had my results Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thank you Doc for the information having weed in my back yard what's the best treatment should I use

[@JoseA1981]

Nice catch at the end of the video!

[@carpediemjonah8110]

Hi Doc,
The joy of the catch. Unbelievable size for closeness to beach.
Would you consider posting a link or download to the PH Chart?

[@johnmurphy6366]

Much respect for the catch and release!

[@adamghazal9204]

Nice Red. Thanks Doc!

[@OkcBilly]

Zoyzia is the best looking grass when taken care of right in my opinion

[@KS-mv3qh]

Magnificent gesture returning the fish to the sea.

I see a new channel coming, "How To With Doc 2, Fishing"

[@adamcarter9038]

Doc I'm just wondering how long should I wait after I fertilizer to do a soil test or does it matter

[@grayfox9911]

90 days...

[@asia-altamimi]

Thank you so much I learned alot from you my question is where can I find the greenshocker 7-1-2

[@luisbarrueta8207]

Hi Doc....
First great video's... Second I'm in Southern Ca.
Question now can someone tell/know if they have Bermuda-grass or Centipede grass?
Thanks for any info you may have...

[@chriso2130]

Can I use the green shocker on a newly seeded lawn? Cool season KBG. Is a fast release fertilizer safe on new turf?

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

I don’t see an abbreviation for the Standard Soil Test on the sheet! Is this the type of test you recommend? What type of bag do you ship the soil in?

[@HowTowithDoc]

BIG box that says STANDARD. To the left of all the small boxes.

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

@@HowTowithDoc wow! The big elephant in the room?! Got it! Thanks Doc

[@jt2861]

I’m new at this so please forgive the potentially very stupid question- Since I live in Rhode Island am I not able to use your Bermuda Guide since our seasons are so different in temps?

[@chrischon1]

Just need 3/4 of a cup. ..empties a quarter of a 5 gallon bucket

[@HowTowithDoc]

You should see him bake.

[@chrisrobbins4706]

Do you read your comments and if so how often? I have outrageous amounts of nutrients in this soil and could use some help diluting these numbers down.

[@LORandZO]

Hi Doc ! Is there any reason why your website isn't accessible from France ?

[@Quickstepz-OG]

Doc, when you were probing the lawn for a soil test, I noticed you took it from all over the yard.
Would that give me a overall average of the lawn. My question is, Do I need to do individual areas if my yard is hardish in some area, soft in another?
Loving life.. Nice catch doc, big and fat.

[@HowTowithDoc]

With a larger lawn, yes. You might want to break it up. This one is too small.

[@rufeilrahtieh7885]

Maybe you will do a video how to turn off VPN on a browser that does not have a VPN?

[@carpediemjonah8110]

Thanks Doc. Would a shorter soil tester be Okay? Such as the 21" tester. Or do the smaller ones bend in clay soil.
Why do you use such a long length tester? Is it thicker at the bow, and so it does not bend in clay soil?

[@HowTowithDoc]

No bending, easier to push and pull.

[@kevinkane8197]

Doc, have put down the Green Shocker just over a week ago which was a couple of weeks after Anderson's 10-10-10. What's your feeling on a high nitrogen fertilizer like Urea or a 21-0-0 quick release?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Don do it. Right now it's a slow feed.

[@RonGay58]

Getting a soil test is tough through 2 feet of snow and ice

[@Jamest315]

My pH is low according to soil test, but I just had new sod (tall fescue) put down 2 weeks ago. Is it too soon for lime?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Do light treatments every two weeks.

[@Terry11111]

I want to go fishin 🎣 sometime with you Doc

[@Sam-hj8hy]

I am super jealous that you keep catching those nice reds and I am not.

[@WhittyPics]

That is some fish Doc

[@waynehayes8237]

Nice fish.

[@davidbirmingham6975]

At 9:36 is that marijuana growing behind you?

[@davidbirmingham6975]

Nice fish
