Lime as a Fertiliser in Soil Improvement
The article explains that soil fertility depends on active bacteria to render nutrients available and that lime enhances this process. Lime neutralises acidity, speeds decomposition, and improves texture, aiding growth for clover, potatoes, roots, and fruit trees. It also boosts root growth, disease resistance, and nutrient availability while loosening soil and reducing crusting. A simple test with hydrochloric acid indicates lime needs. heavy soils may require up to two tons per acre, while light soils benefit from about half a ton per acre.
