Have You Limed
Your Trees and
shrubs Lately?
If you think lime is just for turf, think again. If your soil is acid, all types of plants, including trees and shrubs will benefit from liming. Liming increases the availability of most soil nutrients. Lime is also a plant fertilizer, supplying calcium and magnesium to the soil. Fall to early winter is an ideal time to broadcast lime, before snow covers the ground. Lime applied now is worked down into the soil as its cracks through cycles of winter freezing. Soil core aeration preceding lime application is also a great combination. And don’t forget to also core-aerate natural areas and plant beds where possible!
Before soils freeze, test to determine liming needs. If soils are already frozen, have your local Bartlett Representative help you estimate your current lime requirements. Check results by soil testing next season.
