I've been worried about our allotment being acidic and have just chucked a sprinkling of lime on four of the beds.
I've just read that this should have been done last autrumn. Can I plant this year? Or is there some way I can neutralise this if I've made a huge mistake. Drat !!!!

Wouldn't worry about it.

I lime as I plant.

Just rake it in it'll be fine. I only did mine two weeks ago and it's still sitting on top of the soil.

I always lime when I'm planting my brassicas, and they turn out wonderfully, even last year with all that ghastly weather.

It'll be fine.

I have limed my Brassica Beds at three different times. One year I did it in the Autumn, another year I did it around March and another year I limed as I planted.

My best crops were the year Limed as I planted.

Try not to put spud's in those limed bed's. They may get scab.

Thanks .... and I'll avoid planting spuds in those beds.
Not really an 'experienced member' ... have just been a member for a while !!!!!!!
Happy digging and planting, everyone!
