The impact of Soil PH on your Lawn By Peter Henrikson of GrassRoots Turf-Charlotte Soil PH has long been known to impact plant health, whether it be crop production or your home lawn. The questions we are going to answer for you are: Why does it have an impact on plant health and what specifically is PH impacting? Let’s begin with the basics. PH stands for Potential Hydrogen. This makes sense when you learn the PH of the soil is impacted positively or negatively by the amount of hydrogen (H+) ions it is holding. Some soils are naturally higher in H+ ions (Clay) and some soils are naturally lower in H+ (Sandy loam), which gives them a natural deviation from the neutral PH of 7. The PH impact of a soil regulates its ability to pass nutrients stored in the soil to the plants growing in it. Not all nutrients are created equal and therefore nutrients flow through the soil at different rates based on the soils PH. When PH moves too far away from a neutral PH, the soil can “lock up” the nutrients (see exhibit 1), therefore starving the plant from critical nutrition. The goal of soil management is to move the soil PH to an appropriate level based on the plants that are growing in it. Plants such as blueberries like acidic soil between 4.5-5; where Daylilies prefer a PH of 8, home lawns prefer 6.0-6.5 PH. These plants grow best at these levels because the nutrient availability in the soil is optimal for them. Blueberries love iron and iron is highly available in 4.0-5.0 PH soils. Adding calcitic lime to our lawns, gardens and natural areas has several positive impacts, one of which is adjusting the soil PH. Please note that lime does not create a permanent change to the soil PH, only organic amendments such as compost, biochar and increased soil biology can create a permanent change to the soils PH. Lime adds significant amounts of Calcium and Calcium Carbonate to the soil which attracts hydrogen (H+) ions and bonds with them, subsequently removing their impact in the soil and raising soil PH. Calcium is an essential macro nutrient for plants, but also plays a massive role in soil structure. Calcium ions position themselves between the soil platelets, like cartilage, inhibiting the platelets from collapsing while creating space within the soil for air, water, and nutrient movement. Calcium leaches from our soils through natural processes. When this happens and the calcium level in soil can become deficient and the soil collapses and becomes compacted. In Charlotte, we have heavy clays which hold a lot of nutrients and readily uptake calcium and calcium carbonate into the soil. Providing your soil calcitic lime as part of your regular soil maintenance can greatly increase the nutrient availability within the soil, the soils structure and improve the effectiveness of any fertilizer additives. Lime is a slow-moving application (see exhibit 2) and therefore needs to be planned annually to ensure your soil is optimized for the growing season.

That’s because a mattress has one of the highest profit margins in retail, in the range of 40-50%! Compare that to the profit margins for grocery items of 5% and you’ll understand why most mattress stores and mattresses purchased online are a bad deal for any consumer. Thankfully, Charlotte’s Best Mattress Store, No Bull Mattress, will save you a ton on the price of a new mattress. Instead of spending money on expensive advertising, flashy stores in fancy locations, TV commercials or high pressure salespeople, No Bull Mattress chose to take a different approach. They have individually owned locations run by families and their mattress prices are hundreds to thousands of dollars less than store chains. They’ve taken the greed out of selling mattresses by offering a much lower price than their competitors and offering full transparency to the consumer. Shop their showroom for mattresses, adjustable beds, foundations/frames and bedding. They offer a five year price guarantee that is by far the best offered by any business anywhere. If you purchase from No Bull and find any comparable mattress in any brand or model, they will honor that price and give you an additional 100% of the difference back to you in cash. That guarantee is not for 90 days or a year but for five whole years! Of course, they have great warranties on their products and will deliver and set up your purchase. Be sure to check out their buyer’s guide available here, https://nobullmattress.com/guide/ with inside information on the mattress industry and how many companies take advantage of the average consumer. Flexible and low interest financing is available at all locations for customers. Visit one of the five locations in the Charlotte area and take the headache and stress out of buying your next mattress.
