Lime my veg plot?
Lime changes the pH of your soil. Do you want to do this? Lime is used to raise the pH when your soil is too acidic. Sulphur is added to make the soil more acidic. Have a test done on your soil to see if you really need lime. And, use gardening lime. Gypsum is not acceptable garden lime. You need to make a list of the veggies that you grow and see what pH does best. Most veggies grow best in a 6 to 7 pH but asparagas loves a higher number whereas blueberries want acid. Changing the pH can greatly influence your veggies. See if your soil needs lime before you lime.
Reply:I would try it on a part of the garden to see if it will work. The render probably has stuff that isnt supposed to go in your garden, so when all else fails, just buy a bag of lime.
