Is lime for the lawn the same as limestone?
These two words are often used together when it comes to 'lime and garden use'.
Limestone powder or Lime is used to increase the ph in soil.
Limestone is basically a form of calcium which plants need to produce good fruit.
Be sure to have a soil test done before applying lime or limestone to the garden.
Your Local County Extension Office can help you with a soil test.

what is a good fertilizer for a magnolia tree

How do you fertilize when there is straw around the plants?
Many fertilizers are water soluble or you can purchase liquid fertilizers. These fertilizers are then just watered in
hello it says 2 table spoon of 20 20 20 fertilizer to one gallon of water, ( I'm talking generally ) but it does not say how much of the one gallon of water to poor in lets say an orange tree growing in a pot. do I use the 1 gallon of fertilized water for each pot or how do I break it down. my confusion is about how much fertilizer to use for each plant in a pot. i do pot planting because the weather in Las Vegas is awe full ( lots of winds lots of heat in summer time) in summer the plants look like they are thirsty but when I check the soil it is wet about 1 inch below surface and under. I hope this is not too confusing.

Hello, When I plant new flowers, I amend the soil with compost. Now that my garden is more established, I'm wondering if I should top-dress each spring with compost and/or fertilizer to ensure the soil has nutrients for the plants. Is it necessary to do both? Or if I top-dress with compost each spring, can I forgo fertilizer?
The only way to really know if the soil is nutrient rich is a soil test.
Top dressing is a great way to amend soil but if blooming plants receive too much nitrogen they may have poor flower performance.
Some plants need additional fertilizer for healthy growth.
You may want to research your plants specific needs and make decisions about fertilizer or compost applications from that information.
Your County Extension Office can do a soil test for you for just a few dollars.
