I guess you'd need quite a bit for an allotment?.... Is this something I go to a garden center for?

Nope you don't need huge quantities of lime but if you buy it in 25kg bags it works out cheaper, I'd avoid garden centres most seem over priced try small hardware stores or allotment shops etc. even a local agricultural merchant may be able to supply a bag.
You should only really lime the area that your brassicas are going in, on a 3 yr rotation you'll probably cover the majority of the plot, about a handful a sq yard does me fine.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

As a hardware store owner I will back Richy up. (Thankyou Richy).  I have large bags of Lime at (I think) £18.  Good excuse for you to have a trip over! :lol:
