When was the last time you had the soil in your yard tested? If it's been five years or longer, you could save money – and time – by having it done again. Why apply lime unless a test has shown it's needed? Depending on the results, you may also be able to cut back on fertilizer or use it less often. Call your local Cooperative Extension Service office for more information.
