Grass specialists urge avoiding lime on lawns as it benefits weeds like crabgrass and dandelions while bluegrass and bent grasses thrive on acidic soil with ample nitrogen. Barnyard manure adds significant nitrogen and is commonly used to improve soil.
For lawn and farm seeding, manure often underperforms due to weed seeds and offensive odors. For old seedings, commercial fertilizers provide ready plant nutrients without drawbacks. A mix of ammonium sulfate and cottonseed meal or a high nitrogen complete fertilizer is advised at two to three pounds per square rod, applied before or during a shower or watered well afterward to prevent grass injury.
