This is the time of year that even the best of lawns start to get a yellow tint to them, and the usual way that homeowners combat that is by cranking up the irrigation system. Don’t get to over zealous though or else your well will run out of water. Most people don’t even realize it until it’s too late. This is more than just a no water problem. It usually causes very dark brown water. It is also very bad for Submersible pumps and Water Treatment Equipment.

Liming your lawn twice a year can help keep it greener year round. This will raise the soil pH by adding Calcium back that has been removed by Acid Rain. It is a lot like the process of adding Calcium to well water through Water Treatment Equipment called an Acid Neutralizer, in order to solve for Bluish Green Stains in the house.

Roughly 2/3 of the water used in Southern New Hampshire is for lawn irrigation. That is a staggering amount. If you can cut down on your lawn watering by spreading Lime instead, it only makes sense to try.

So conserve water, lime your lawn, and enjoy your great water!
