Okay, so the title of this post is a pun...but it's true! Super Sweet, a fast-acting granular lime is on sale for a limited time starting today!
So, you ask, what good is Super Sweet and what should you use it on? Here in the Pacific Northwest, our soils are highly acidic (in case you haven't noticed, Rhododendrons--acid-loving shrubs--do quite well here!), meaning that you won't get the full benefit of the nitrogen in your lawn fertilizer without doing something about it. Thus, Super Sweet. Lime helps to neutralize the acidity of your soil, making it able to break down and absorb the nitrogen in fertilizer much more effectively.
Many types of lime are very slow to break down and "sweeten" soil; Super Sweet, however, has been ground into a powder and then granulated into small pellets that dissolve easily, meaning that the lime makes it into the soil in just a week or two rather than a year or more.
Apply Super Sweet now so that when you apply your winterizing fertilizer (we recommend mid-November), your lawn can take full advantage of the nitrogen content. And as I said, Super Sweet is on sale! Stop in to learn more about where and how to use it, how much to apply, and to take advantage of the sale price!
