Soil maintenance at the end of the growing season, add some Lime



Published
The Time to Lime is when the soil is bare. The Time to Lime is Now! The effects of agricultural lime on soil are: 1. it increases the pH of acidic soil (the lower the pH the more acidic the soil); in other words, soil acidity is reduced and alkalinity increased 2. it provides a source of calcium and magnesium for plants 3. it permits improved water penetration for acidic soils 4. it improves the uptake of major plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) of plants growing on acid soils. Dolomite lime may be used as a soil input to provide similar effects as agricultural lime, while supplying magnesium in addition to calcium. It can also be used as an insect repellent, without causing harm to the pest or plant.
