Lime isn't a fertilizer. Instead, it helps fertilizers, plant food, and naturally occurring nutrients reach the grass by boosting the pH level in acidic soils.

Lime's ability to encourage healthy grass by making nutrients in the soil more effective makes the task worth the effort, regardless of location.
