 Liming the Lawn
Lime is a compound of calcium or calcium and magnesium capable of counteracting the harmful effects of an acid soil on lawn grasses.
Lime is primarily a soil amendment or conditioner and not a fertilizer, as is commonly thought.
Also, lime is not a cure-all to all lawn maladies but an ingredient which can correct soil acidity, thus creating favorable conditions for other factors to occur which develop favorable conditions in soil for lawn grasses.

Tahiti limes are harvested 8 to 12 times a year–once a month in winter, but 70% of the crop matures from May to fall.
The limes are collected in wooden field boxes and conveyed by truck to packinghouses where they are graded, washed, waxed, and packed in 10-,20-,40-,or 55-lb (4.5-,9-,18-,or 25-kg) corrugated cartons for shipment to retailers.
The seeds of the Tahiti lime are largely monoembryonic; few seeds are available for planting; and seedlings, for the most part, are exceedingly variable.

Limes containing magnesium were often less favored when slaked outside of factory conditions, due to the fact that the magnesium component took longer to slake.
The preparation and practice of lime work is simple, but variables in the materials themselves (the sand, the lime, and particularly in the weather during application and drying time) are crucial to the overall durability of the material.

 Preservation Brief 2: Repointing Mortar Joints in Historic Masonry Buildings
Lime (calcium hydroxide) hardens by carbonation absorbing carbon dioxide primarily from the air, converting itself to calcium carbonate.
Therefore, when specifying sand for repointing mortar, it may be necessary to obtain sand from several sources and to combine or screen them in order to approximate the range of sand colors and grain sizes in the historic mortar sample.
A surprising variety of colors of sand may be found in a single sample of historic mortar, and the different sizes of the grains of sand or other materials, such as incompletely ground lime or cement, play an important role in the texture of the repointing mortar.
