I know this is asked adnausium but bare with me.
I would like to plug aerate, seed, Fert, and lime back to back. Its early spring and 2nd best time.
I have a soil analysis and it says I need lime 60 lbs per 1000 sqft and other stuff too.
Soil is pretty compacted. And there is only a little organics in the soil. It was rough graded a few years back. I have had a little success and have weeds, fescue, and bermuda growing. At least its green stuff.
Last fall I used an Aerway aerator spread fert and seed then drug over it with a chain harrow. I have some pretty good growth/coverage but stunted thin short sprouts from last fall. I was told not to lime at same time as seeding as it might cause a fungus growth and harm the seed?
I did not add any lime over the winter as I did not want to aerate again so soon and figured it would just run off (since I did not have much growth and soil is compacted).
I want to "overseed" and add more nutrients. I want to plug aerator seed, fert, and lime together back to back.
Is that ok or is it a no no to lime with seed? I read it will neutralize some Nitrogen if its Urea based fertilizer but other than that is Solu-Cal lime ok with Fertilizer and seed back to back?
