Well there are different kinds of lime. What you want in this area is called a "hi cal" lime that is mostly calcium carbonate. You can get this at Floyds in Dadeville if Miss Faye has any left.

The cotton days in this area of AL has lef t the soil very high in magnesium. If your magnesium is too high then you will burn up most plants. Don't add lime that is too high in magnesium carbonate.

Calcium is essential to proper plant nutrition. Your county agent won't tell you this because he has been trained by the fertilizer interests that want you to do the NPK routine.
