Spreading lime is recommended before reseeding as this corrects soil pH. Ground conditions have improved significantly and with dry weather forecast in the week ahead, there will be some farmers looking to reseed less productive grassland. Before going to the expense of reseeding grassland, there a few things to consider first, some of which are outlined as follows. 1 Lime and soil fertility Grass growth can be heavily curtailed if soil fertility is poor. There is little point reseeding a sward without correcting soil pH along with P (phosphate) and K (potash) levels beforehand. If fields have recently received fertiliser or currently being grazed, there is little merit in taking a soil sample at this stage of the year, as fertility levels will be heavily distorted.
