It wasn’t lime. It was iron.
Fertilizer I used. Contains Dimension

Cut mine for only the 2nd time here. It’s a mess though. It’s soaking wet in areas. I have a huge moss issue and I’ve dropped iron on it and it did nothing. My step 1 fertilizer did nothing for the weeds either. I hate doing yard work. Working 7 days a week gives me no time to do a damn thing myself to improve it and I’m not willing to spend thousands to redo it all from a landscaper.
I’m sure. Not too many places in New England where you can drill without hitting large rocks. I’ve tried the hand hole diggers and they’re an exercise in futility.
Get a hole digger and bury that thing. Far too many diy’ers don’t go more than 12-18” and the posts end up getting pulled out of the ground to to freeze/thaw cycles and the heaving of the ground. You bury that thing below the frost line and that ain’t going anywhere. It could not hurt to do the flex seal or some sort of bitithene type membrane around the part of the post that is buried. May be a bit costlier but would extend the life of the post if covered properly.
I hear ya. I’m lucky that I’m still busy so it’s good to focus on that and not weather. It’s just been the longevity of the winds and rain for a day now that wears you down, not being able to step outside with the dog for a bit for a distraction.
