Here is a thread for comments about lawns, landscape, gardening etc. I am sure many have put out fertilizer. Check us out sharpedgelawncare.com or FB sharp edge lawn care & management LLC.

There is no way to know what kind, or how much, fertilizer or lime to use without testing the soil. Also, lime takes months to work through the soil, so that needs to take place as soon as you test pH and realize you are acidic....well before fertilizer and seed.Always use perennial rye.

You do not need a soil test to determine fertilizer. You can use one for lime if you need to. However you generally can tell when you need lime by looking at moss in the lawn as well as thin grass. Generally in the Piedmont of NC you can lime every year and you will be fine.There is no way to know what kind, or how much, fertilizer or lime to use without testing the soil.

I just keep my mower on lowest setting and keep everything nice and low, weeds and all! Ain't nobody got time to be out there with scissors and a ruler and wasting water and putting out harsh chemicals that just wash into waterways! Embrace your weedlawn!
