Donīt Add Lime Without a Soil Analysis!

Many lawn care tip sheets tell you to add lime once a year. If your grass is actively growing and responding to fertilizer applications, you donīt need to add anything at all. Lime raises soil pH. In some soil conditions, raising pH can cause Iron deficiency problems. With some types of grass, adding lime to your lawn can serious damage or even kill it. Unless you have had your soil analyzed and the results recommend the addition of lime, donīt do it.

the tip indicates that adding lime raises the PH.
What does lime raise? Is it the acidity or the alkalinity level. If it raises a numerical value, what does the value represent?
