It is vital when starting a successful lawn plan, that you perform a soil test and determine your soil pH so you can start taking corrective action to get your pH into an ideal range. This will save you time, money, and headaches going forward.

I found out after doing my first soil test this spring that my soil ph was very acidic at 5.7. I am working on putting lime down this season to work on bumping that up. Thanks for the information!

Soil ph is key - once I started working on correcting it in my lawn, I started getting much better results. Thanks for watching!

Been working on fixing my lawn for 7 years. I can kinda get it nice for a bit but I have really struggled. Did a soil test tonight.... kinda makes sense now... 4.8 for the most part. One area I can get better, it was 5-5.2ish. Time for lime... lol

Yes, in the past my PH was really holding me back in achieving the results that I wanted. Keep working on getting that PH dialed in and your lawn will drastically improve. Thanks for watching!

That's awesome! Stick with it and keep working at it. It is a slow process, but you are headed in the right direction. Thanks for watching!

If you have a pH imbalance, you are wasting your money on any other product applications until you fix it. Great info.

I’m trying to adjust my PH to come down to range as well. Glad to hear you used the purple bag of JG and it brought it down. I’m on the same mission this season. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for watching Gary! I struggle with alkaline soil and finally am moving in the right direction after product applications. I will be interested to see how the elemental sulfur I applied in this video impacts my pH.

@briansarboni7500 Жыл бұрын

Good video - am I able to apply PH correcting products in the summer heat? What would you recommend? I have high ph over 7

@TheLawnLover Жыл бұрын

I would not recommend applying elemental sulfur in the summer heat. It's meant to be applied in spring and fall to avoid issues. Thanks for watching!

What setting did you have your spreader on and what kind of spreader do you use? Thanns

@TheLawnLover 3 ай бұрын

I use a Spyker Ergo Pro 50. I typically weigh out my product based on pounds per square feet with a bucket and scale and I have gotten dialed in on the spreader to know that setting 4 on mine typically works best to spread that evenly on my lawn. This of course will vary depending on your spreader, but if you are unsure you can always set it on a lighter setting to ensure you cover the entire lawn and just keep repeating it to spread it evenly. Thanks for watching!

I am trying to find out if iron sulfate (Ironite) might be a quick band-aid fix for a high pH. This method may take several seasons.

@TheLawnLover Жыл бұрын

That is a great question. Upon doing some research, I think this resource from Purdue University is very helpful in explaining this and providing more information. The article discusses horticultural crops, but when we are talking about soil, this should carry over to any kind of soil - including lawns. www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/ho/ho-241-w.pdf

Thanks for the video. I bought powder elemental sulfur by mistake instead of granular . How best to apply the powder to my lawn. ?

@TheLawnLover 6 ай бұрын

I would probably try to use a drop spreader that is closer to the ground to get the power applied better. You could probably do it with a broadcast spreader it will just be messy and I would make sure it's not windy. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@Shunya0101 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the videos. My soil is alkaline with a Ph of 7.13. How is the elemental sulfur working for you? I was wanting to use the JG purple bag, but my calcium is double the highest limit according to a soil test.

@TheLawnLover 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! Thr elemental sulfur is a slow working product but I have started to notice a difference. I will be interested to see on my next soil test hoe it moved the needle.

@Shunya0101 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheLawnLover will definitely be interested in results. Did you use a spreader to apply this?

@TheLawnLover 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it was granular and I used my broadcast spreader.
