USE OF LIME
This time of year is the most favourable for digging over and bringing into use parts that have until now’ been idle. Don’t forget that lime is as essential in bringing such plots to fertility as is manure. Lime is sold in three states —the ground rock or agricultural lime, burnt rock lime, and hydrated lime. All have virtues, but the burnt rock is the best, because it retains all the qualities necessary to setting free plant foods lying in an inaccessible form in the soil, and at the same time it is far the easiest to apply. Lime is best applied at the rate of a few ounces to the square yard of surface. after digging.
