I have just been enjoying your fantastic slideshows on your website and wondered what the white powder is around your brassicas?

Yes Justy it is Lime!


Had a look at that site daileg, but have never looked upon lime as a fertiliser as such! it is more of a soil conditioner in my book.

As I understand it lime is a pH adjustor and it is a known fact that if the pH is not right fertilsers fail to release their constiuents to the plants.

Anyone got views on this?

I first looked at the site when I started growing chrysanths again so that I could jog the memory. I use it quite often, but usually I ask on here so that everyone can benefit from the responses
