Ah!  :D

Use lime to decrease soil acidity for crops such as cabbages, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc.   There is a Glossary if you follow the Help link in my signature (hint: vote for the Will option)

There are also many pages in the Information section at the top of your screen.

Also - ask plenty of questions! 8)  :lol:
