Hi RayR, no I didn't add lime into beds. I remembered that I have one of those soil test packs. I used it to test pH. I am not sure how accurate this is about the color I get says pH is around 7.0 (neutral). Do you think I should add lime every time I prepare the beds for planting? If so, how much and how often should I apply? Also is there a way to adjust pH after vegetables are planted (e.g. a liquid solutions, or soluble powder)? Does it work if I feed the plants epsom salt every 3-4 weeks?
