Amending The Lawn's Soil
In addition to the very important amendment of annual organic material, there are some additional amendments which are optional, but may be very helpful in making your turfgrass more healthy.

Extension Ag Update - Resources - September/October 2007
Limestone should be the first soil amendment applied to the soil in crop production. The rate of limestone application should be based on a soil pH test and recommendations in the Illinois Agronomy Handbook. Distinguishing herbicide injury from other causes of abnormalities on landscape plants can be challenging.

Extension Ag Update - Resources - November/December 2002- University of Illinois Extension
During late November, the variety results for corn and soybeans from the 2002 research variety plots will be posted on the Variety Research webpage. One of the most important production decisions facing farmers each year is which variety or hybrid to grow on their farm.

Problems of Beets
Powdered or granulated limestone takes too long to have effect, so use liquid limestone that is mixed with water and will immediately raise the pH or the level of acidity around the beets.

Other Lawn Feeding Issues
Since grass plants prefer to grow in soil that is only mildly acidic, homeowners whose property has very acidic soil spread lime on their lawns to reduce the acidity, or “sweeten” the soil.
