Moss thrives in low pH soil.To raise the soil's pH to a value between 6.2 and 7.0, apply Jonathan Green MAG-I-CAL®.Mag-I-CAL® is a form of calcium carbonate that can be applied during the growing season.One bag is equal to about 5 bags of regular pelletized limestone, and it can be applied on the soil right before seeding or laying down sod.
Once you have balanced the pH level of the soil, we recommend using Jonathan Green Love Your Soil to loosen and aerate it, improve drainage, and make it easier for grass plant roots to grow.TheMicrobes in the soil are activated by Love Your Soil to make it easier for the grass roots to absorb thefertilizer, resulting in stronger, healthier turf.
