Old Lawn Lime Bag: Use, Donate, or Discard?

A central Florida homeowner had a 50-lb bag of lawn lime that burned St. Augustine grass years ago. Soil is sandy; lawn service now maintains yard.

Advice

• Lime only if soil test shows need. Most garden centers test pH free.
• Garden lime shouldn't burn grass; hydrated lime can if not watered in.
• Give the bag to the golf course groundskeeper—they can test and use if needed.

Don't apply blindly; let the pros handle it.
