So, at the risk of losing the my title as the King of Green, I'll share with you some of my tried and true secrets to a lush, green lawn. Where I live, the soil made up primarily of clay. Grass struggles to grow in clay because the soil compacts easily and roots can't get through. If you have clay soil too, its time to lime. Grab some pelletized lime from your local garden center and apply it to your lawn now.
Lime lifts the pH levels and helps release nutrients that are stored in clay soils.
You can lime anytime. I sometimes get a few sprouts growing in the lawn closest to the road. So, in late March or early April, I put down an application only along the roadside. I suggest you apply crabgrass preventer only to the areas of lawn likely to succumb to a stray weed seed or two. This fertilizer contains a vast array of micronutrients that recharge your soil.
