Lime

Question

I’ve just added lime to the raised beds in an attempt to neutralize the soil. I am also planning on sowing rye seeds as green manure and wondered how long after liming the soil I should wait before sowing rye seeds?

Answer 1

You can sow almost immediately. Grasses, rye included prefer a slightly alkaline soil. I found this article interesting:
