We are establishing a 6000 sq ft organic lawn. Parts of it are existing lawn, other parts will be new grass seed.

Soil test at UMASS says pH 6.3.

They recommended adding 50 lbs calcitic lime per 1000 sq ft.

I used Fast acting calcitic lime at that rate AFTER adding loam (topsoil) where necessary.

Now I want to spread 1/3 inch cow manure compost to the lawn.

QUESTION 1: How long do I have to wait before adding the composted manure after I limed?

I was told it didn't matter, but I am getting conflicting answers!

My next step after spreading the manure compost into the soil is to wait about 10 days, and add an Organic fertilizer (Ringer).

Then, I want to re-seed and add new seed to the new areas.

QUESTION 2: Should I add the grass seed at the same time as the Ringer fertilizer? or wait?

I also want to add Milky Spore for the grubs.

QUESTION 3: Do I wait until grass comes up first and then treat with Milky Spore? or just wait until next Spring?

I am sorry for lots of questions, but you all seem to be the experts here, and I keep coming back here for answers!

THANKS!
