[QUOTE="jfont, post: 446613, member: 140"] My guess is you would be loosing some of the value of the nitraite. When lime is used to correct the ph balance of the soil, until it's absorbed, the balance is still off. With the balance off, plants can't properly absorb nutrients from the soil. So waiting for the lime to take affect would be more feasible. In a sense, you wont be wasting fertilizer on grass that can't pick it up well. Just like if you don't ever lime and the soil isn't naturally abundant with it, you'll end up having to throw more and more of the amount of fertilizer than you should to no greater results. [/QUOTE]
