Lawn PH and Lime Application

Products → www.howtowithd...
Doc finds out the backyard lawn is very low on PH and does an emergency application of lime. He talks about the impact of PH on plant health and why it's important to check, then do incremental steps.

Entering video, thanks. I recall fishing a NOAA bout in the rain. In fact it was a hurricane in Gulf early Nov 2001. The Coast Guard has made many o memories for me. Great idea to remove barbs.

[@BermudaBrian]

I've wondered how to read that chart you showed. Good info. I just did a video on the pH balance of irrigation water. I'm going to get the meter you used

[@Rigandfixit]

Keep up with the good content.. my lawn did good in these 110 degrees heat weeks we been having.. I had no brown grass at all this year’s 👍🏻

[@frankgonzales2232]

Lol Opening line was awesome!!!! You had me Rolling !!!😂

When you gotta pee... everything stops

[@morkmckerr]

For the little spinner treble hooks, you should try the small pliers that have the angled head...like 45degrees or something....grabbing the little metal hook is easier with that than grabbing it with fingers...they usually have them in the fishing section of stores and brand does not make a big difference

I bought the same tester a few months ago and found my soil to be around 5.5. I put lime down and plan to do another application soon. I tested our house water and it’s also acidic. Hard to keep the soil neutral when our water is acidic!

[@Duesy_Sam]

What is the name? I need one

[@duncanbrown7082]

Soil Tester S-1, 4 in 1

[@RESlusher]

Good stuff, Doc! What was all that water I saw that looked like it was fallin' from the sky?! 🤠

[@reeseboudreaux2690]

How will you prevent the new clover area and the Bermuda by the dock area from mixing with each other? Also, what area is the beach house in? (wondering how close it was to the storm)

[@chrispatterson8210]

I was told by an Ag Extension office that a lime application can take up to nine months to take full effect.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Correct... to get 4" down it can take a full year.

[@Aph87]

That’s why you can wait for a big sale. I got enough to treat a half acre for like $15.

[@t3hka1]

love it! if i had a fishin' hole and was left home, id be out there in the rain too!

[@TheWalkerjrc]

maybe you should use barbless hooks, would be easier to de-hook them if you cant find a stick.

[@HowTowithDoc]

That's what I said, I crimp down all the barbs.

[@jackwhite6030]

Doc knows his stuff....

[@chrislambert5249]

Good Morning Doc. After a treatment for PH how often do you test your lawn again?

[@noname-rl2wm]

The higher ph will help eat up all that organic material 👌🏼

[@MrAwesome3O5]

Can you provided some more info on correcting that algae issue. I have that same issue in my zenith zoysia lawn where I see green algae sporadically throughout the surface of my soil here in Miami. Current ph 7.1

[@Feeltheblessing]

Thank you for the information. Would it be toxic for domestic bunnies when hanging out in the yard? Thank you

[@allensadicario5196]

Jonathan Green magic cal plus is best for raising your ph

[@HowTowithDoc]

Basic lime is pretty much the same without a great amount of performance difference. It has been tested in the past.

[@scottlarkin4748]

I was thinking your land was in south GA and was hoping none of those trees would fall on your house

[@evanstone855]

Doc, have you ever used Andersons Lime. Would it be worth the higher cost?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Have not used it.

[@williamupfold1616]

@HowTowithdoc ….I live in California. A lot of the stuff you recommend can’t be shipped here. So what can I get that will replace those items

[@Sblack8123]

What meter do you use for the PH reading. Taking soil samples and sending them off can get expensive

[@davidcarroll8533]

Hey. The beard looks good trimmed up. It took me a minute to figure out what the difference was. Lol

[@mikeo8890]

I got hit by a car in home depot's parking lot loading up topsoil. My neck is still hurting. This happened last March.

[@alaskanmalamute101]

Got the same ph meter as u and mine is coming up at 4..was 6.5 last year using the same meter 😤 Put down a concrete slab patio next to the lawn last year could that be leeching into the lawn lowering the pH? We had the wettest winter/spring on record.

[@adamghazal9204]

Thanks Doc!

[@atreid83]

Should I kill/get rid of moss before laying lime down?

[@sevasquez82]

What do you do if you have high ph. Got that tester and getting low 6 to 8. More 7.8 and 7.5 in my brown spot of my lawn.

[@Sblack8123]

Add sulfer if PH is high

[@seanpgill]

I prefer the pelletized lime - not as messy!

[@HowTowithDoc]

That was.

[@rossesbranchgolf]

15:26 Barb’s lawn?

[@neutronparadigm7965]

I would mask up and aleays ensure you got goggles on when spreading that lime doc. It can be quite harmful otherwise.

[@butchbr73]

What test did you use to test the ph?

[@michaellenheiser3157]

Lime and Pee H video

Never saw anything about the pH meter either in the description nor on the website??

So if my yard is at an 8 or higher what do I put down ?

Sulfer
