It's a standard lawn application.
http://www.arborcaretree.com/Organic_Lawn_Care_FAQ.htm#Should lime be applied every year?
Soil becomes acidic over time due to land structure and environmental issues. Lime is used to raise and maintain soil pH to more neutral levels. If pH levels are too high or to low, soil nutrients become "locked up" and are unavailable to turf roots. In many cases, a neglected lawn may have pH levels so low, that it will require two applications of lime per year until levels become acceptable. Yearly applications of lime are part of a good lawn care program, and soil tests are used to determine accurate delivery of applications.
Thanks for the understanding. Lime has been associated with so many cases of hastening the decomposition process (Gacy is one) that we automatically think it is used that way.
