Manure and lime

Jim T · « **on:** May 08, 2007, 15:15 »

Today at the plot I told my next door plotter that I had limed the holes before planting caulis - to guard against clubroot, as advised by Whisky_Golf.
He asked if I had manured the bed and proudly I said YES.

"Oh", he said, "How long ago?"

He said you can't add lime so soon after manure ....... but he wouldn't tell me why.

Is there any truth in this? What terrible thing will happen if you mix manure and lime? :?:
