You might already know that highly compact soil is not good for the growth of plants. Does your lawn have high foot traffic? Then, despite all the cautionary tales about how spring is not the correct time to aerate the soil and it might lead to weed growth, you will have to do the needful.<\/p>\n<p>It is advised you use &#8211; either plug aerators or spike aerators. This will create small holes all over your lawn and allow water and nutrients to pass down, nourishing the soil.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_%E2%80%93_Understanding_the_soil_condition\"><\/span>Step 3 &#8211; Understanding the soil condition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4484\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4484\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4484\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/moss-coating-of-soil.webp\" alt=\"moss coating of soil\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/moss-coating-of-soil.webp 750w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/moss-coating-of-soil-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/moss-coating-of-soil-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: The Spruce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When you are done with the aerating process, you will see for yourself that certain areas will come out with a coating of moss. Now going back to those chemistry lessons, you must remember &#8211; how the neutral value of soil is fixed at 7, with less than that being acidic and a pH higher than that being alkaline.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have checked the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, you will have to look for alternatives to bring it back to the natural pH. If you have acidic soil, then you can add ground limestone to gain back the neutral levels. For alkaline soil, you will have to add a fertilizer spread to regain the neutral value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_%E2%80%93_Overseed_the_soil\"><\/span>Step 4 &#8211; Overseed the soil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4485\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4485\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil.jpg\" alt=\"overseeding the soil \" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/overseeding-the-soil-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Lawn Love<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you are done understanding the situation of the soil, the next step you must take in this spring lawn care technique is &#8211; overseeding, i.e. sowing seeds over the existing grass. By doing so, you will better the health of the soil and also introduce some new varieties of grass seed into your <a href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/4-tips-to-make-your-garden-look-great-on-budget\/\">garden<\/a> area.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_%E2%80%93_Fertilise_the_soil\"><\/span>Step 5 &#8211; Fertilise the soil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4486\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4486\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fertlising-the-soil.webp\" alt=\"fertlising the soil\" width=\"750\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fertlising-the-soil.webp 750w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/fertlising-the-soil-300x188.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Getty Images\/ Schulzie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For the unversed &#8211; this overseeding will not be complete until you fertilize the soil. Here, you may use the more organic top-dressing fertilization process or may use mulching powder. When you are picking up a mulching powder to enhance your spring lawn care techniques, you must ensure that the fertilizer is of the slow-release high nitrogen type.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from nitrogen, this must-have potassium and phosphorus content. If nitrogen enhances growth, both potassium and phosphorus improve the roots of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/aloe-vera-benefits\/\">plant<\/a>. Therefore fertilize the soil accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_%E2%80%93_Add_the_required_herbicides_and_lime_the_lawn\"><\/span>Step 6 &#8211; Add the required herbicides and lime the lawn<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4487\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4487\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lime-herbicide-on-soil.jpg\" alt=\"lime herbicide on soil\" width=\"520\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lime-herbicide-on-soil.jpg 520w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lime-herbicide-on-soil-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Sappi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is an alternative step. If you have not used fertilizer, you may use an herbicide and lime combo to enhance the soil\u2019s health. Do not use both techniques simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>While you use this technique, you will have to remember that &#8211; depending on the type of weed, you may use pre-emergent (attacks weeds before they emerge by creating a protective cover) or post-emergent herbicide (works on the weeds). Once that is done, you will then have to lime the herbicide-used areas for better protection.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_%E2%80%93_Remove_the_spring_weeds\"><\/span>Step 7 &#8211; Remove the spring weeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4488\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4488\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4488\" src=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/removing-spring-weeds.jpg\" alt=\"removing spring weeds\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/removing-spring-weeds.jpg 650w, https:\/\/fictionpad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/removing-spring-weeds-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: istockphoto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You have to do this when you have used the fertilizer to enhance your soil (since when you use herbicide, you remove the spring weeds first and then use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S026121940700302X\">lime herbicide<\/a> combo).
