This article extols lime use for gardens noting its cost efficiency and broad benefits. Lime enhances nitrogen, potash, and phosphorus availability, sweetens sour soils, and improves fertility. It also aids soil structure, combats mildew spores, and fights pests like slugs and snails. Shell lime is highlighted as ideal for gardens and farms, with herbaceous plants praised for general hardiness.
Herbaceous plants form the garden’s foundation with a wide range of types and colors. They die back in winter, though some varieties endure in Australia.
