Tune Up Your Lawn

LAWN Tune Up Your Lawn (NAPSA)—Lawns run on fertilizer like cars run on gasoline. Just as a tune up can help you getbetter mileage, tuning up the soil with lawn lime can help you get the best “mileage” from yourfertilizer. To keep your lawn in top form, maximize your fertilizer investment by using lawnlime. Lime neutralizes acid soil and adds calcium and magnesium, essential elements for healthy grass and good root growth. Lawn lime is a natural product that cannot burn a lawn. Application rates vary but, says David Jackson of Oldcastle, a major manufacturer of lawn and garden products, “a good rule of thumb is one bag of lime should be applied for each 1,000 square feet of lawn.” Popular lawn lime brand names include YardRight, Easy Spread and Correct. Limeis available in a fast-active pulverized form, convenient granular, and pelletized lime- stone which combines fast action with the convenience of application using a broadcast fertilizer spreader.
