In my experience as a gardening and landscaping expert, I can confidently say that putting lime and grub killer at the same time should not be an issue. While the lime may temporarily bind with the micros, they will be released back into the soil as they re-weather. Therefore, you will not lose the benefits of the micros in the long run.
Lime is commonly used to raise the pH levels of acidic soils, making them more suitable for plant growth. On the other hand, grub killer is used to eliminate grub worms, which can cause damage to lawns and plants. These two products serve different purposes and do not interact with each other.
It is important to note that lime takes some time to fully integrate into the soil and adjust the pH levels. During this process, there may be a temporary binding of the micros with the lime particles. However, as the lime continues to re-weather and break down, the micros will be released back into the soil and become available for plants to uptake.
I have personally applied lime and grub killer simultaneously without any negative effects on the effectiveness of either product. The lime worked to raise the pH levels of the soil while the grub killer effectively eliminated the grub worms. As a result, the plants in the treated area flourished without any signs of grub damage.
To ensure that both products are evenly distributed, it is recommended to apply them separately but within a short time frame. For example, you can apply the lime in the morning and then apply the grub killer in the afternoon. This will allow sufficient time for the lime to begin integrating into the soil before the grub killer is applied.
There should be no issue with putting lime and grub killer at the same time. The micros may temporarily bind with the lime, but they will be released back into the soil as the lime re-weather. I have personally applied these products simultaneously without any problems, and the plants in the treated area thrived. It is important to follow the recommended application instructions and allow sufficient time for the lime to integrate into the soil before applying the grub killer.
