Applying lime at the correct rate to a raised bed. It's all in the preparation. Follow the instructions on the box and with a few simple tools and tricks make it quick and easy. Liming in Autumn gives the lime 4 to 5 months to 'do its magic' before the next growing season. Let the bed 'sleep' through Autumn and Winter and it will be 'ready for action' the following spring. A light dusting would probably benefit most raised beds.Since posting this video I have limed a 2nd raised bed. The glass jar I used is still in one piece but its cracked. It would be safer to use something plastic for this job. This is a FREE subscription channel.
