Really they are different. Because 'mortar' which is usually called refers to the mixture of cement, sand and water. Whereas, lime mortar refers to the mixture of lime, sand and water. But both are used as a binding material.

is limestone ok to use on lawns to kill fles

<><><><>

Agricultural lime IS limestone- that has been ground to a powder. And sorry, while it is not bad for your yard, it does NOT kill fleas. You need an insecticide. Check with the staff at your hardware or lawn and garden store.
