| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that "lime is a good soil conditioner...Lime has the effect of flocculating or granulating the soil particles, which allows the soil to breathe." Explains that "lime helps the individual soil particles to form groups which makes an open soil structure. This structure allows air, fertilizer, and water to enter and nourish the roots and it provides spaces where the roots can grow and reach the nutrients that make grass green." |
