			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>My lawn ph is terribly low! I just measured it and the meter is saying it&#039;s only slightly above 5.0. I know this seems really low and I&#039;m sure this is why I&#039;m having such a problem getting my Fescue to grow. But right now it&#039;s late spring and I don&#039;t know how to get the PH up in a hurry. What can I apply that will be fast working? I don&#039;t think my fertilizer is working at all and from what I&#039;ve read, the ph might be at fault. What do you suggest?</em></p>
<p>First, stop applying fertilizer or fungicide or anything else for now. It&#039;s imperative that the PH gets up to at least a 6.0 before anything else is applied as explained in our <a  href="http://www.soil-ph.com/"><strong>Soil PH</strong></a> article. When you get a reading that&#039;s low and it&#039;s during the growing season, the use of <a  href="http://www.accountwizard.com/bugspray/shop.asp?outsidelink=item&#038;value=953256"><strong>Liquid Lime</strong></a> should be considered. It&#039;s fast acting and easy to apply. Most importantly, you should be able to get the PH to move up in a short amount of time. Once you get it up to over 6.0, be sure to keep watching it closely by measuring it monthly. This way you&#039;ll be able to see any movement and make adjustments as needed. Remember, anything under a 6.0 is usually bad and once the soil is down around a 5.0, it&#039;s almost impossible for the turf to utilize food properly. At this point it&#039;s hard to say if this is the only problem your soil might have but until you get it back up over 5.0, we won&#039;t be able to tell. Start applying the <a  href="http://www.accountwizard.com/bugspray/shop.asp?outsidelink=item&#038;value=953256"><strong>liquid lime</strong></a> right away and once you get it up over 6.0, let us know and we&#039;ll advise you on fertilizer, fungicide, etc.</p>
