I'm looking to make a key lime pie for a friend of mine, but for health reasons he can't have any condensed milk. The only ones I have been able to find have all had sweetened condensed milk in them, so if you had point me to one that doesn't I'd be much appreciative :)
I put down lime on my lawn, but it's for a different problem. There are called Sand Spurs. We have eight cats and one small dog, and i never thought about cleaning up the yard. There has never been a time that i had to clean the yard, now i no why. I put lime down 2 times a year. So you could put it down at least 2 times a year also. c.d.
It doesn't matter when you put lime down as it doesn't immediately take effect. In fact, I would think it would be better to put it down now so you will be starting to get benefit from it in the spring and summer.
I assume you are referring to spots caused by dog urine. If so, lime probably won't help with that. It may be a good practice in your part of the country depending on soil pH but it will do nothing for the spots unless your soil is really acidic and liming is necessary to raise the soil pH into a more optimal range for turf growth. The pH of dog urine is relatively close to neutral (normal range is 6-8) so trying to neutralize it with lime is sorta pointless. In fact, most turfgrass species, including the most common types of lawn turf in the northern US (kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, the fescues), actually prefer slightly acidic soil (6.0-6.5). The spots are caused by the high concentration of urea that is found in urine. While urea is also a common turf ferilizer, too much of it will burn the grass.
lime has to do with ph levels makes no difference when you put it down
