If the soil is too acidic. essential plant nutrients remain locked in the soil. Certain plant diseases may also thrive in acid soil. Clubroot in Brassicas, for instance, can be completely controlled by ensuring the pH is 6.5 or more. Liming has other benefits as well. It provides a source of calcium for plants, aids in the formation of proteins, hastens the decomposition of organic matter and benefits the nitrogen fixing bacteria found in the soil.

It is amazing how much easier it is to get a fine tilth for seeding on a clay soil when it has been treated with lime the previous autumn. Soil Type There are two main types of agricul- tural lime used for altering soil pH. They are calcitic limestone and dolomitic limestone. Calcitic limestone (calcium carbon- ate) is released slowly over a long period and is best applied in the autumn..

As a rough guide, to raise the pH level by one unit, the lime requirements will be: Sandy soil, two pounds limestone per l()() square yards; sandy loam, four pounds limestone per 100 square yards; medium loam, six pounds limestone per 100 square yards; clay, eight pounds limestone per 100 square yards. If you need to raise your pH level sig- nificantly, apply smaller dressings regu- larly rather than one large dressing all at A 1 F ' I',"?"'""""" rr" I of, l I iiiiij,18iii2 iitttitglll' 1 I! b.

Like other chemicals, lime is leached out of the soil so liming will need to be repeated occasionally to remain the desired pH. Remember applications of manure and compost will also have an acidifying effect on the soil. Lime and fertilizer must never be applied at the same time as there will be a reduction in the amount of available phosphate. Do not apply lime and manure at the same time either as there will be a substantial loss of nitrates.
