Healthy plants should be able to get all (yep, ALL) of the nutrients they need from the soil. But if your soil is too acidic or too alkaline, those nutrients won’t be available, no matter how much fertiliser you add. Grass roots absorb minerals such as nitrogen and iron only when they are dissolved in water. If your soil is to acidic or to alkali.
As the saying goes, “To know where you are going, you first have to know where you are.” Thus, when changing the pH of soil, the first thing you need to do is test your soil. Test it at home using a do-it-yourself kit or with a portable soil probe/pH meter. Soil can be brought back into balance fairly quickly if they are not too far out of the ideal pH range of 6.5 to 7.0.
Having just had a very wet winter so much rain is likely to have made the soil very acidic. Bio-Lime is a lawn fertiliser ideal Spring or Autumn fertiliser for combating a low Ph.
