Where would I get garden lime?
« on: July 29, 2010, 21:12 »
As I am growing brassicas next year in the bed that has my second earlies in I was wondering where you get garden lime?
Time waits for no man and I can't wait for growth.

Our local Wyevale has it, not sure about Wilko's.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I have limestone it was bought to give a few pinches to the chickens when one was laying a soft shell.
Is this the same lime you can use in the garden as we could only get a 4kg tub and have loads  ::) ::)

There is a certain amount of confusion about the labelling of various types of lime; ground limestone is the safest in terms of not acting too quickly or risking "burning" plants and therefore is not surprisingly the slowest-acting version.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
