Low Ph

[accuratelawn]

I am renovating a lawn next week. I received the results of the soil sample. Ph 4.4!! The lawn area is under 3 large Pin Oak trees. The recommendation was to apply 195 pounds of lime per 1000 square feet. I know I can't put that much down at one time.
What would be the best series to follow in the renovation of this lawn?
I sprayed parts early this week with round up to kill off the junk.

What type of lime did it call for?? Lime with Ca or Mg? Apply 50 pound per 1000 after aeration/aervation/tilling or whatever. What were the P&K levels?

It did not say anything about type of lime.
P = 89 k = 393

P & K look good. At the bottom right it should say "Lime LBS/M", then below, it says 195 and lime type which would be Mg or Ca. Mg is the cheap stuff at Home Depot, Ca is the $4.00 a bag stuff at Lesco. With what you sent me I would guess it says Mg, not Ca.

I took a test in April, check out these results:
Ph: 6.8
P: 7
K: 125
