I don't think we will need to add lime. If we dig about 3 feet down the top soil quits and we hit limestone. We are having to wait on our neighbor to get our garden plowed, so in the meantime we have built a large hot frame. It's all finished except for the lid. Praise the good Lord we're have a couple days of rain with water standing in our small pasture! We going to fill the hot frame with aged horse manure and plant salad item in gutter eaves on top of it. The hot frame is on a slope, so on the downhill side we plan on putting in our first in ground plant so that the runoff from watering the hot frame will fertilize those plants. Does this sound right to anyone?
