Hi

Welcome to the site flopsy

Is this a question in relation to the plot generally, or have you got specific plants in mind?

I'll split this off to make a new thread, as it's a 4 year old one, specifically asking about runner beans.

Adding lime will raise the pH level. 7 to 7.5 is OK for most crops.

You have good soil for brassicas already............it doesn't look as if you need more lime
