Does Lima Beans Need Fertilizer

Question

How much fertilizer do Henderson butter beans need? Also, do they need lime?

Answer 1

If you have good soil, they don't need much fertilizer. A bit of balanced (e.g. 10-10-10) fertilizer will be fine. They do not need lime. Lime is sometimes used if the soil's pH is off, but the average vegetable garden does not have this problem.
