BTW.. If your Ph is high, you don't want lime.
You might not even need it when the Ph is low... Please Stop Liming your Soil Based on the pH! | Garden Rant

said high didn't I. should have said low. thanks for the correction. I have a ph of 2 1/2. have a couple of plants that the leaves are poorly formed because of low calcium.
